Macon Memories with Classmates

An opportunity to catch up, share experiences, and enjoy the company of your classmates. The Anne Jeter Ribble Lounge in Smith Memorial Building will be reserved for the 50th Reunion Class of 1970 throughout the weekend. The tent on front campus is open all weekend for class gatherings and reconnections. Coffee and conversation areas will be set up on both Friday and Saturday nights away from the music and dancing to offer a quieter venue to continue catching up with classmates.

Return to the Classroom: Here Let Wisdom Rise

Relive your classroom experience. Sessions are presented by faculty, staff, and fellow alumnae and alumni and are designed to pique your curiosity and interest. Session topics on both Friday and Saturday will include Randolph academics including experiences in today’s classroom and research, involvement in the many student extracurricular opportunities, the College’s sustainability program, and a not-to-miss panel of Class of 1970 Trailblazers sharing life’s lessons.

Winery Excursion

(Pre-registration and an additional fee of $60 are required. Space is limited.)

Filiae Tuae Society

Filiae Tuae translates to “your daughters” and is the name of the society of alumnae celebrating their post-50th Reunion. Each year, new alumnae are inducted into the society. This group is honored with a special seated luncheon with the President.

Return to the Classroom: Sustainability@Randolph

Learn why Randolph is consistently recognized as one of the top “Green Schools” in the country. Students, faculty, and staff are dedicated to improving the quality of life within the community without compromising the needs of future generations. Randolph has become a model for sustainable practices among small liberal arts colleges.
