The returning alums had a busy schedule that included campus and community tours in the "Galloping Goose", class meetings, and socialization time for the class members to catch up with one another.

The reunion began Friday, May 7th, with class registration in Donaldson Commons and a luncheon featuring MSU Northern Chancellor, Dr. Alex Capdeville who gave the welcome and an update on the campus progress. Montana State University Northem's Admissions office staff lead a tour of the campus followed by a class meeting in Donaldson Hall. Friday's festivities concluded with the

Founder's Excellence dinner and Reunion banquet in the Student Union Dining Room where the 50year alumni were introduced and received their 50 year pins.

On Saturday, May 8th, MSU Northern's Commencement ceremony highlighted the weekend. The "Golden Grads" marched in the processional and lead the new graduates into the graduation exercises. At the conclusion of Commencement, they joined the Class of 2004, their families and friends, and the faculty, staff and administration in the Student Union Ballroom for the Graduation Brunch. A tour of Havre Beneath Streets was scheduled for Saturday afternoon to showcase Havre's history.
