Calling the Class of 1956, 1966, 1976, 1986 and 1996

This year’s Homecoming is extra special for the 10-year Reunion Classes!

The ASU Alumni Association is planning extra special events to honor the 10-year reunion classes of 1956, 1966, 1976, 1986 and 1996. If you are in any of these classes, be sure to register for the unique activities planned just for you, such as campus tours, a Friday night social in a local restaurant with your class and a Sunday reunion brunch. Classes of 1956 and 1966 will be additionally honored with a place in the parade. Please visit www.asu.edu/alumni/events/homecoming for more details on your reunion class.

Homecoming is a celebration of accomplishment, people, and tradition.  Arizona State University is excited to put on a week of events that highlight all of those areas.  As the years have passed since your graduation, it is understandable that time has become more precious and those little weekend trips are a little tougher to squeeze in.  This year, more than ever, the ASU is urging all Alumni to return to their Alma Mater to see and experience all the fantastic changes that are happening all over the ASU campuses.  For all of you who have said, “Oh, I’ll go next year” this is definitely the year to come back!  We’ve got events for the whole family—some educational and thought-provoking and all of them certainly entertaining.  So, October 20-22, bring the entire family and experience what Arizona State is so proud to call Sparky’s Homecoming FestDevil: Maroon and Gold Fever…It’s Contagious.

Why to return?

It is time to return home and see what you have been away from since you graduated.  Homecoming isn’t just about a football game or a parade—it’s about you!  It is about celebrating where we as a school have been, where we are now, and where we hope to be in the future.  Just by being a part of this great University you have impacted and helped mold ASU into what it is today and now it is your time to return and celebrate with all your fellow graduates and the current student body.
