Thank you for an incredible weekend!
We had tons of fun celebrating our 50th reunion May 16–18, 2025 with about 110 classmates and guests on campus! Delaware and OWU have grown and evolved yet are delightfully familiar—just like each of us.
Let's Stay in touch!
Even though our 50th reunion is finished, our connections don't have to be. Join in the conversation, keep the celebrations going, and share your favorite photos and anecdotes in our "OWU Class of 75 Reunion" Facebook group!

Pounds heavier, follicly challenged, somewhat wrinkled, and still playing volleyball - I look forward to seeing everyone at our 50th OWU Reunion in May.

REUNION! RETURN! RECONNECT! REMINISCENCE!
I am hoping that as many members of our class will attend our 50th to remember our days at OWU, to rekindle friendships, and to extol the strides that our beloved alma mater and campus have achieved. It is a time of celebration of the time we spent together in our undergrad days and of the renewed camaraderie we hope to embrace in May 2025.

"The truth shall make you free" appears as the cornerstone of one of my favorite buildings on campus. Looking forward to being in Delaware for our 50th Reunion in May and seeing all of you—and this inscription—once again.
Jill Fouts Chappuis
I can't wait to see many of you at our 50th OWU reunion. I'm sure we all look and feel just like we did 50 years ago!
Ann Groves
Join us for the fun your 50th reunion committee is planning! Reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and see for yourself how OWU has evolved with the times.

President Bush used to say, "To whom much is given, much is expected." I had the four best years of my life at Ohio Wesleyan, intellectually and socially, that laid a platform for everything that came afterwards. It would be so much fun to see everyone for our 50th reunion, and I would love for everyone to see what the campus looks like now. If you come, I promise we'll have fun!
Suzanne Sutter Sumner
What an unforgettable milestone! I look forward to celebrating our 50th and hope you'll be there.
Tom Yaroschuk
It is a gift to be invited to attend this once in a lifetime event. I look forward to seeing friends from the analog era, when punch cards ran computers, music was played on vinyl records, and we were cautioned not to trust anyone over 30. All we faced then was the Draft, Vietnam, Nixon and the swagger and romance of our youth. I hope everyone that can attend will attend.
Kathy Geer Root
Amazingly, we've arrived at both 50 years and 70+ years—but just about every day, I feel as though I'm still 24 inside my head. Although body wear-and-tear reminds me of my actual age, the years have been both kind and lots of fun. If you're reading this, I hope that you, too, lay claim to all sorts of adventures big and small—and that we all can keep those trends going for more years to come. Be kind, be happy, be a Battling Bishop every day!
Annie Griffith Seiler
The OWU friendships I made from 1971–1975 (and those spanning my 41 years working there) are invaluable to me. I am SO looking forward to seeing classmates from our great class at the upcoming 50th reunion in May! PLEASE plan to come back to share in the reminiscences and the fun, and to honor Ohio Wesleyan for helping to make us who we are today.
