Alumni Engagement

Meet in front of New Battell for a walk across campus. Continue on to the Red Kelly Trail, which follows the perimeter of the College’s golf course. The course consists of moderately rolling terrain with several steep hills. 

Join your 1976 classmates for a spirited 9 or 18 holes of golf at the beautiful Ralph Myhre Golf Course! Complimentary tee times available from 10:00–11:00 AM. Lunch will be provided at the Tavern on the Tee. Register online by May 21 at go.middlebury.edu/50thgolf. Carts available day-of: $25 for 18 holes / $16 for 9 holes (per person, at check-in). You do not need a full group to register. If you have less than a foursome, the golf course will do their best to group you with other players.

The 50th class will gather for a delightful evening of food, conversation, and celebration, joined by President Ian Baucom. The program will include brief remarks and the presentation of the class gift. Following dinner, classmates are invited to continue the evening on the roof of Bicentennial Hall for stargazing with faculty and staff from the Mittelman Observatory.

Head up to Bread Loaf for a special evening including a reception, dinner, class photo, and a memorial tribute to remember our departed classmates.  Guests may drive, carpool, or ride the bus. Buses depart from Lot C behind New Battell at 5:30 pm. (A bus will also stop at the President’s house at 5:35 pm to pick up guests attending the Donor & Volunteer Appreciation Reception.)

Survey Says! How well did you know your classmates? Did you know their tastes, their behaviors, and what generally made them tick? There’s only one way to find out, even if it’s 50 years later. Come join this spirited game of Fiftieth Feud. 

Upon arrival, please check in with College staff in the first floor lounge in New Battell to get your name tag, housing assignments, and more!

Mingle and celebrate the artistic output of our 1976 classmates! A variety of artwork from professionals and amateurs alike will be on display. 

After dinner, enjoy live music by Magnetic Horse, dancing, and conversation in the Bread Loaf Barn. 

Important note: This event has been canceled. 

Please join us as we gather to honor our lost classmates from 1981 at our class tree, on the north side of Painter Hall. Rain location: Chateau Grand Salon.
