Class of 1971 Golden Tiger Reunion

Congratulations Tiger! It is time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of your graduation from Clemson.

The Golden Tiger Reunion is an annual event intended to serve as the class reunion for all classes who have previously been inducted as Golden Tigers in years past and as a celebration for the 50th anniversary class.

Golden Tigers are invited back to campus to reunite with their old classmates and friends to reminisce about their days as students and to learn about what is happening at Clemson today. Due to the postponement of reunion in 2020 and 2021, you will celebrate your 50th reunion along with the classes of 1970 and 1972.

As a member of the 50th class, you will be honored by being inducted into the Golden Tiger Society which is a formal event similar to graduation. Each Golden Tiger will be presented with a Golden Tiger lapel pin and an official Golden Tiger Society Induction Certificate to commemorate the day. The Golden Tiger class will also present their Class Gift to the university along with participating in the other reunion activities planned for all to enjoy including university presentations, campus updates, campus tours and activities. Details of these events are listed in this brochure.
