Fifty year anniversaries have long occupied a special place in society. Generally referred to as "Golden Anniversaries," they are celebrated by institutions, businesses and individuals. They commemorate loyalty, perseverance, and often a special, lasting bond between people.

When college and university alumni reunite to celebrate 50 years as graduates, it is indeed a rare and special occasion.  We honor our 50-year graduates, those celebrating their Golden Anniversary as Rockhurst alumni, by induction into the Golden Hawks Society. Each 50-year class is inducted into the society at a special ceremony for graduates and the widows of deceased graduates, and as part of their 50-year reunion celebration.

This year's Golden Hawks class is the Class of 1960.  Reunion will take place over Centennial Celebration Weekend, September 23-26, 2010.

Class members interested in helping to plan the reunion should contact Deanna Johnson. All class members are encouraged to send updated contact information to Deanna, including a current e-mail address.
