At the Class of 1975 Golden Tiger Reunion, you and your classmates will be inducted into the Golden Tiger Society through a formal, graduation-style ceremony. Each Golden Tiger will be called to cross the stage and will be presented with a Golden Tiger lapel pin and an official Golden Tiger Society Induction Certificate. Clemson leadership will welcome you to the event and commemorate the day with a photo of you on stage and in your 1975 class photo.

The Golden Tiger Reunion is an annual celebration intended to celebrate the induction of the 50th reunion class into the Golden Tiger Society. In addition to the 50th class, previous class years who have celebrated their Golden Tiger Anniversary are also invited back to reunite with their own classmates and congratulate the newest Golden Tiger on their induction.

  1. Reconnect: Not only is the Golden Tiger Reunion an opportunity to reconnect with your former classmates and friends, but it is also a chance for you to learn about Clemson and its impact on its students, alumni, state, and the world. Tours of campus, its newest and some of its oldest buildings, and updates from faculty and staff will allow you to see the growth of Clemson while enjoying those traditions and characteristics that keep Clemson, Clemson.
  2. Nostalgia and Memories: Reliving memories from your past can be heartwarming. Reunions allow you to revisit familiar places, walk down memory lane, and share stories that evoke nostalgia. It’s a chance to celebrate the good times and reflect on how far you’ve come.
  3. Support Your Alma Mater: Attending reunions shows your continued support for your alma mater. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply being an active alum, your presence contributes to the legacy of your educational institution.

Registration for the Golden Tiger Reunion will open in April 2025. Tours and activities will be released closer to the reunion date.

The Golden Tiger Reunion tickets for meals will be available in April 2025. The meals include an opening lunch on Thursday, June 5, and class party that evening, breakfast on Friday morning and the Clemson Family Luncheon on Friday, June 6.

Reunion tours and activities will begin Thursday morning, June 5, and continue throughout the day into Friday morning. The opening celebration will begin at 11:45 am for lunch. The reunion events will conclude at lunch on Friday, June 6.
