Alumni from across the country returned to Keuka College last weekend for Green & Gold Reunion & Family Weekend—a three-day celebration packed with reunions, awards, and campus dedications.
The annual tradition welcomed graduates back to Keuka Park to reconnect with classmates and celebrate the College’s past, present, and future.
Among the highlights was the 50th reunion of the Class of 1975, whose members were officially recognized as Pathfinders—alumni who graduated at least 50 years ago. “It feels like we never left,” said Molly Thomson, who traveled from Niagara County to attend.
The College also honored outstanding alumni and athletes during the Green & Gold Celebration Dinner, where awards were presented for professional achievement, community service, and service to Keuka College. The newest Hall of Fame inductees—Matt Selden (baseball), Maggie Bonafede Gutierrez (lacrosse), and Paige Golden Judge (volleyball)—were recognized for their athletic excellence.
Honoring legacy and growth
The weekend featured several dedication ceremonies, including the official opening of the Lakeside Lodge, a scenic event space once home to alumni Charles and Dorisanne Osborn ’51. The College also dedicated the Anthony Mattie ’06 Press Box at Kuhl Baseball Field in memory of the former student-athlete.
Another major milestone came with the 40th anniversary of Keuka’s Occupational Therapy program, one of the largest in New York State. Past and present faculty, including former chair Dr. Peter Talty and current chair Dr. Michele Bennett, joined in a celebration reflecting on the program’s growth and future.
From fireworks and campus tours to alumni gatherings and a “Party at the Plex,” the weekend gave graduates old and new a chance to relive memories—and make new ones.
