1976 Class Reunion

The year 1976 was one to remember. As America celebrated its bicentennial, headlines were dominated by long-shot candidate Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign and Patty Hearst’s conviction. While Hamill, Jenner, and Comăneci made Olympic history with their signature moves, iconic victory laps, and perfect 10s, a start-up named Apple Computer launched in a California garage and changed the tech world forever. At home, your eyes were glued to Family Feud and Charlie’s Angels as they aired their first episodes, and Rocky topped the box office. But you, too, were a contender who refused to give up as you graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison!

Now, it’s time to celebrate with an exclusive Badger celebration in your honor during the weekend of September 12, 2026. Don’t miss this golden opportunity to commemorate your time at your alma mater and to reconnect with your Badger community!

Further details will be announced soon. We hope to see you in person and will continue to post updates.
