Class of 70 & 71




Congratulations Class of 1970 & 1971 on the 50th anniversary of your graduation from the University of Florida! While we had plans to gather in-person in November to celebrate this milestone achievement and welcome you to the Grand Guard Society, due to the recent rise of COVID-19 cases and after consultation with alumni and UFAA leadership, we will be postponing these activities until Fall 2022.  Please continue to check this website, your mailbox and email for more information regarding 2022 reunion details and upcoming virtual event. Again, congratulations on achieving your 50th anniversary. We look forward to celebrating you in person next year - Go Gators!
