The Half Century Club (HCC) forms a community around an important milestone for our undergraduate alumni, marking 50 years since their graduation from Northwestern University. Every fall, all alumni from the 50th class and those who graduated earlier are invited back to the Evanston campus to reconnect with classmates and friends. This year, alumni who have previously marked their 50th Reunion milestone will come together at Homecoming and Reunion Weekend events including the Half Century Club Reunion Party and the Half Century Club Brunch.
