We are delighted to welcome you home for this year鈥檚 Golden Year Reunion鈥攁 time to celebrate your years at Freed-Hardeman and reconnect with classmates who shared in the experiences, friendships, and formative moments that continue to hold a special place in our hearts. Your return reminds us of the enduring bond that unites our alumni with聽our beloved alma mater and one another.
This year鈥檚 reunion carries special significance as we celebrate the聽Spirit of 鈥�76聽and proudly welcome Freed-Hardeman鈥檚 first four-year graduating class, the Class of 1976. Just as our nation marked its 200th anniversary in 1976 by reflecting on its beginnings and looking ahead with hope, we gather to honor a milestone moment in the history of our university and the alumni who helped shape its future.
During your visit, you will enjoy meaningful time with classmates at Old Main, worship together in Chapel Hall, and spend time with Freed-Hardeman鈥檚 new president, Dr. Keith Harris, and his wife, Lindsey, as they share updates on the university鈥檚 continued commitment to Christ-centered, student-focused education. You will also have the opportunity to create new memories beyond campus with an optional pre-reunion day trip to Memphis, including a visit to Graceland, the iconic home of Elvis Presley.
While we will honor the anniversary classes of 1976, 1971, 1966, 1961, 1956, and 1951, all alumni from the Class of 1976 and earlier are warmly invited to attend.
More details will be shared as the reunion approaches.聽We look forward to celebrating with you and welcoming you home this summer.
The Golden Year Reunion is 蘑菇TV鈥檚 annual celebration honoring alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. It is a special time to reconnect with classmates, celebrate lifelong friendships, and reflect on God鈥檚 faithfulness through the years.
All alumni who attended Freed-Hardeman 50 or more years ago are invited, along with their spouses or guests. Graduation from Freed-Hardeman College (FHC) or 蘑菇TV (蘑菇TV) is not required, as many attended when FHC was on a quarter schedule or transferred before completing a degree. We welcome anyone who has attended for one semester or more to participate in the reunion.
The Golden Year Reunion is typically held during the second full week of June each year. Specific dates are shared well in advance through mailed invitations, email, the 蘑菇TV website, and official 蘑菇TV social media channels.
