Golden Year

Florida Atlantic recently welcomed 72 alumni back to campus to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation. As part of the university’s signature homecoming events, the Florida Atlantic University Alumni Association inducted the classes of 1970, 1971 and 1972 into the Majestic Owls Society. The Majestic Owls Society was established in 2015 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of each graduating class from Florida Atlantic, beginning with the class of 1965.

The three classes participated in an induction ceremony, luncheon and campus tour, in addition to other Homecoming 2022 and Owl Family Weekend events. As a token of gratitude for their dedication to their alma mater, each Majestic Owl received a commemorative medallion.

“It was an honor to celebrate with our accomplished alumni and mark the occasion of their golden anniversaries,” said Katie Burke, Ph.D., assistant vice president of alumni and community engagement. “These distinguished members of our Owl family have made us who we are as an institution and are an integral part in the university’s growth and success.”
