Party Like It's 1975! ✨
Fifty years later, their commitment to Albion College burns brighter than ever. The Class of 1975 has remarkable enthusiasm and dedication that shines bright, most evident in their generous fundraising efforts toward Wesley Hall improvements. To the class of ’75, your golden anniversary isn't just a celebration of the past—it's a powerful testament to our motto lux fiat. By investing in spaces where first-year students begin their Brit journey, you're lighting the pathway forward for generations to come.
