Testimonials

Jean Enlow Henry, Class of 1963:

I am looking forward to the Golden Grad Celebration. Three years ago I got to be a part of my husband's (Chuck's) Golden Grad weekend in 2010. Since then I have looked forward to the reunion for our class. We were truly treated as honored guests of the college. There was plenty of time to visit with friends, as well as a bus tour to see the amazing growth and change on campus, a lovely dinner at the Boathouse on Winona Lake and much more.

Jeanine Swetlic Larson, Class of 1963:

In just a few months, Grace College will celebrate the Class of 1963 during its commencement exercises. (They call us the Golden Grads.) It is a wonderful event that allows us a reunion with classmates as well as a chance to see how God has blessed our Alma Mater (amazing changes on campus and in Winona Lake).

Knute and I went in 2012 for his class. It was encouraging and fun to reconnect with people we hadn't seen for years. The Alumni staff did a second-mile job to make our gatherings memorable.

Being in the spring helped to make the connections seem more focused and purposeful than former frantic fall festivities. :) Maybe it's because we have a bit more time after fifty years. Maybe not. But we have already booked our room at the Wyndham Gardens and urge you to come. Please do.
