50th Reunion - Class of 1973
April 28-30, 2023
The 50th Reunion marks a meaningful milestone for alumni, bringing together classmates from near and far for an exuberant celebration. We hope you will make plans to join everyone on campus April 28-30, 2023 to relive moments of joy and become reacquainted with alma mater and each other.
Re-Echo
As part of your 50th Reunion celebration, the William & Mary Alumni Association will publish an edition of the Colonial Re-Echo. The Re-Echo is a yearbook that tells the story of our class at William & Mary and during the 50 years since graduation.
Can't attend Traditions Weekend? You can still purchase a Re-Echo and an Olde Guarde Medallion for $25 each by emailing the W&M Alumni Association.
Have photos from your time at W&M you'd like to share with your classmates in addition to your Re-Echo entry? Submit them here by April 10.
Please note that any photos submitted may be used in printed material and a Class of 1973 slideshow.
