Class Project
The Class of 1976 Scholarship Endowment (2495)
This endowment was established in 2001 with gifts from the Class of 1976 in honor of their 25th reunion. Income is to provide scholarship assistance to an academically distinguished undergraduate student with demonstrated financial need.
Re-Echo
The Re-Echo is an updated version of your senior yearbook. It includes a class history, then and now photos, favorite memories from William & Mary and details on what your classmates have been doing since leaving our alma mater.
We are excited to partner with BrightCrowd this year to create a beautiful online copy of the Re-Echo, as well as the printed version! The online version is secure so that only our classmates can view it, and it allows for additional information and photos to be included. We will create a printed version based on the online yearbook as a keepsake for 50th Reunion attendees during Traditions Weekend.
Create your page by March 6 to be included in the print edition. Questions? Check out the FAQ.
