Class of 1973 Inducted into Golden Bishops Circle
In 2021, North Carolina Wesleyan University created the Golden Bishops Circle (GBC) to honor alumni who have commemorated 50 years or more since graduation. When alumni celebrate their 50th Class Reunion (Golden Reunion) they are inducted into the GBC, thus becoming a Golden Bishop. Saturday, May 6, members of the Class of 1973 lead the commencement procession and were recognized and officially inducted into the GBC.
During their time back on campus, members of the Class of 1973 attending also enjoyed a Welcome Reception on Friday, May 5 and lunch on Saturday, May 6, followed by a Campus Store visit and a campus tour, complete with visiting some of their old dorm rooms. It was a great time of reminiscing, sharing memories, renewing friendships and learning about North Carolina Wesleyan University in 2023.
