1976 Class Reunion
It’s time to celebrate with an exclusive Badger weekend held in your honor. Don’t miss this golden opportunity to commemorate your time at your alma mater and to reconnect with your Badger community!
It’s time for all your golden moments to be rolled into one, Class of ’76. At the UW, you let your light shine like Sly and the Family Stone, rock and rolled all night with Kiss, and dreamed on with Aerosmith. Like ABBA, you danced, jived, and had the time of your life as you graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Wish those days could come back once more? Mark your calendar for your 50-year class reunion October 1–4, 2026. Get ready to celebrate this milestone during an exclusive weekend honoring you and your Badger classmates!
Plan to celebrate your golden anniversary and reconnect with your Badger community on campus. We can’t wait to see you this fall!
