Colgate '76 50th Class Reunion

Countdown Expired!

WELCOME CLASSMATES

Our November Checklist

Join over 150 classmates who have already registered for our milestone Reunion taking place on the Colgate campus from Thursday, May 28, through Sunday, May 31, 2026. If your name is not on our Registered list, it’s time to register. The sooner your register, the bigger and better our Reunion will be!

We are thrilled that 252 classmates have submitted profiles for our special 50th Reunion Class Book. Please review this list of submitted profiles to make sure we have received your profile.

We are extending the time to submit remembrances of deceased classmates to November 30. We have received heartfelt reflections of many classmates, but there are still classmates that have no reflections. Also, we recently learned that these classmates have passed away: Kevin Connerton, Doreen Carroll Zambudio, Lynette C. Miller, William H. Pastor, and James Richards. Visit the In Memoriam page of this website to view the list of classmates for whom we still need remembrances. 

Please send your reminiscences, even if you lost contact with them after college, along with any special photos of our deceased classmates to Margie Palladino ’82 at margie@reunionsreinvented.com. You can submit them as a Word or Pages document or in the body of the email to Margie (no pdfs please). There is no word limit—they can be as short as a few sentences.

If you have any questions or are aware of any other classmates who passed away, please contact Margie.

Please check this website on the 13th of each month for any new information from the various committees who are working hard to ensure we all enjoy a highly successful and entertaining Reunion Weekend!

Your 50th Reunion Co-Chairs,

Help Us Find Our Missing Classmates

We have lost touch with these classmates over the years. If you know how we can get in touch with them, please let us know.

Thank You
