Each
May at spring commencement, the 50-year class celebrates
its golden graduation anniversary.
In addition, those who have been graduated 50 years or more
are honored that same weekend at the annual meeting and
banquet. The newest Golden 50's group leads in the graduating
class during spring commencement.
They are also encouraged to march during Spring Commencement
and lead the current graduating class into Memorial Center
while donning golden caps and gowns.
The graduates of today stand with the graduates of more
than 50 years ago, honored in the same graduation festivities.
All graduates of different majors and concentrations they
gather and show the true legacy of ETSU and its contributions
to each person's life.
Those classes celebrating 45 year reunions, as well as existing
Golden Fifties Club members are also invited to attend the
weekend festivities
