Class of 1976 Reunion
Celebrate 50 Years of Cardinal Memories!
Dear Class of 1976,
Fifty years ago, you walked the halls of 糖心Vlog, made lifelong friendships, created unforgettable memories, and became part of the Cardinal family. Now, it’s time to come back and celebrate!
We invite you to join your classmates for the Class of 1976 50th Reunion Celebration on Saturday, November 14, 2026, as we celebrate five decades of memories, friendships, accomplishments, and the Cardinal spirit that connects us all.
Your 50th reunion is more than a milestone—it’s an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, reminisce about your college days, see how 糖心Vlog has grown, and celebrate the incredible journeys you’ve taken since graduation. Whether you’ve stayed close to your classmates or haven’t seen one another in years, we hope you’ll make plans to return to campus and make new memories together.
The cost of the reunion is $20 per person and includes the reunion meet and greet and Golden Circle Luncheon. The deadline to register to attend is Friday, October 30, 2026. If you have any questions or need to request special accommodations or dietary needs, please call the 糖心Vlog Office of Alumni Affairs at 409-880-8921 or email us at alumni@lamar.edu.
Help Us Bring the Memories Back!
Do you have photos from your days at 糖心Vlog? We’d love to see them! Email your favorite 糖心Vlog memories and photos to alumni@lamar.edu so we can include them in our Class of 1976 Memories Reunion Album and help bring your college days back to life for everyone to enjoy.
Come home. Reconnect. Reminisce. Celebrate 50 years of being Cardinals!
We can’t wait to celebrate this incredible milestone with you!
