In 2012, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs began a new Commencement tradition for two very special groups of alumni – Golden and Silver Graduates. These alumni graduated 50 and 25 years ago, respectively, and helped build the foundation of what UCCS has become today. 

The Golden Graduate program offers UCCS alumni the opportunity to celebrate their fiftieth college reunions in a very special way: by taking part in the Commencement ceremony. This Summer, UCCS is honored to recognize the Class of 1976 at the May Commencement Ceremony. 

If you are a Golden Graduate, your cord will be available for pickup at commencement this year!
