50th Reunion
50th Reunion Weekend
September 24-27, 2009—Click here to register.
A lot happened in the 1959 academic year: NASA selected seven American military pilots as the nation’s first astronauts; the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously for school integration in Little Rock, Arkansas; and the two-point conversion debuted in college football.
That same year, we graduated from the University of Michigan.
The University will honor our class with a 50th Reunion celebration September 24-27. As members of the Class of 1959 Reunion Advisory Committee, we are delighted to invite you back to Ann Arbor for what we are certain will be a fantastic weekend.
