HILLSDALE, Mich. — Members of the Hillsdale College graduating classes of 1973 and 1963 returned to campus April 12-14 to celebrate their 50- and 60-year class reunions. The three-day event included campus and Halter Center tours, dinner with live music, recognition at Hillsdale College’s Spring Convocation, a memorial service, and class attendance. 

“It is always fun to host our 50- and 60-year reunion groups on campus. Hillsdale College was home for them during their studies.” said Colleen McGinness, executive director of alumni relations. “Participants travel from all around the country to visit their alma mater. We are glad to welcome them back.”  

Graduation reunions began on campus in 1989 and originally took place during the week of commencement. Reunions now take place during the week of spring convocation so that alumni can see campus in full swing, attend live classes, and meet current students.
