Welcome to our 55th Reunion!

While our lives have changed significantly since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Albright had to make the difficult decision to pivot from the typical in-person, on-campus events to a re-imagined virtual experience for Homecoming Weekend, September 25-27, 2020.

Until we are able to reschedule our in-person reunion for a future date, we will still commemorate this year with a virtual class gathering.

Class of 1965 Virtual Gathering
Saturday, September 26, 2020, 10 a.m. EST, To be held virtually on Zoom

It’s been 55 years since you’ve graduated from Albright! Does it seem like just yesterday? Take this opportunity to reconnect with your classmates and relive your memorable college years. The virtual event will feature polls about your favorite campus people, places and moments. Wear your Albright gear and be ready to raise a glass to your 55th anniversary! Those who pre-register for the class event will receive the Zoom link starting Mon., September 21. Join the “Class of 1965 Albright College” Facebook group to stay up to date on the virtual gathering.
