Plans are underway for Alumni Reunion Weekend and the Class of 1958 reunion in May 2008. It's something you won't want to miss! Members of last year's Golden Anniversary class enjoyed reminiscing with former classmates and faculty at a variety of activities. They also toured the campus and were honored guests at the Commencement ceremony. Read a sampling of comments made by some who returned for the Class of 1957 reunion, then make plans to return to this milestone event and the many activities that are being planned!

"Thank you, thank you for a most enjoyable weekend at the MSU 1957 class reunion. It was quite something to be recognized by the graduating students, faculty and friends of MSU as we made our entrance onto the floor. We will all remember this occasion for the rest of our lives."  Charles Magness '57 , Kentucky

"The Golden Anniversary Reunion was an emotional experience and more. Murray hospitality is alive and well. Thanks for the class photo and reminder of additional photos on the web. I plan to pass this info on to those who missed an extraordinary event."  David Wilson '57, Connecticut

"I had a marvelous time visiting with all my classmates at our 50th reunion. We all enjoyed rekindling old memories and friendships from our days as students at Murray State." Shirley Wiman Sullivan '57, Tennessee

"Thank you for a fantastic reunion. It was great to see old friends again. All the activities were perfect."  Melva Gorrell Rust '57, Kentucky
