GOLDEN EAGLES CELEBRATION
The Golden Eagles Reunion is Auburn University’s official 50-year class reunion. This Golden Eagles celebration allows you to reconnect with campus and celebrate with fellow Auburn graduates from your class year.
The Golden Eagles Reunion often includes events such as Auburn campus and college tours, guest speakers, a dance and induction ceremony. This 50-year class reunion also gives you the chance to donate to the Golden Eagles Scholarship, which supports Auburn students. Check back here to find out when the next Golden Eagles Reunion is going to take place!
Golden Eagles Annual Scholarship
We hope you will consider contributing to the Golden Eagles Annual Scholarship in honor of your reunion. Since its creation in 2009, 74 incoming freshmen have received the scholarship with an overall award value of $74,000. All gifts matter, and when combined with the efforts of other Golden Eagles, they make a huge difference in the lives of the next generation of Auburn students!

“My husband and I live in Cedartown, GA. Our children live in the northwest Georgia area as well as our grandchildren. I continue to teach adults who are preparing for the GED High School Equivalency tests. It’s amazing how many ways a Home Economics degree is a solid base for other careers. I worked in- field for 7 years after graduation. I was trained to work with adults, and I continue to work with adults but focusing on different content.
When at Auburn, the School of Home Economics, under the leadership of Dean Compton, began talking about a change to Human Sciences… it finally happened! I was blessed with the best – especially Dr. Mary Ann Potter and Dean Norma Compton.”
