As the Class of 2015 prepared to flip their tassels and mark the beginning of their alumni journey, members of the Class of 1965 returned to campus this May to celebrate their golden anniversary as Explorers.

A trip to the ballpark proved to be a winning start to the spring Reunion weekend, as the Phillies bested the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park for the third game in a row.

The alums enjoyed a full schedule Saturday, with a luncheon, a special riding tour of the expanded campus, and a viewing of the special exhibitions on display in La Salle’s Art Museum.

After a champagne toast and reception where they received commemorative medals to celebrate their 50th anniversary, the Golden Explorers led the procession at the Baccalaureate Mass for the Class of 2015.

That night, they presented the University with a generous class gift of more than $165,000 and enjoyed an evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing at an elegant Reunion dinner, where they reminisced with classmates about days gone by at La Salle.
