50th Anniversary Yackety Yack

View the digital version of your 50th Anniversary Yackety Yack here. The class of 1965 is the first class (thanks to reunion patron donations) to make a digital version of the book available complimentary to everyone in the class. In addition to news about classmates, you’ll find photos, essays and other materials that will both jog your memories and put “now” and “then” into historical perspective. We do think many of you will still wish to have a printed copy of this keepsake book on your coffee table, and only the print version will include a full class directory listing, so printed copies are available. Books are still available at $45 each. To order contact the GAA at reunions@unc.edu or call (919) 962-3576.  

 

 

Class President Harrison Merrill and the 50th Reunion Committee put together an outstanding 50th reunion weekend.  If you have questions, please contact the GAA at reunions@unc.edu or (919) 843-0446.

Together in Service: 1965 and 2015

1965 and 2015 Together in Service for UNC: Habitat for Humanity Service Project

Click here to view a two-minute video message from the class of 2015 student leaders (including a message from Class President Harrison Merrill '65), and learn how the class of 1965 partnered with Carolina's newest alumni who are continuing in UNC's proud tradition of public service.

Weekend Enrichment Sessions

Reunion Weekend can be much more than socializing and parties. See the lineup of enrichment sessions available for you to attend.

Participate in a MOOC
That’s not a typo. A MOOC is a Massive Open Online Course, and the class of 1965 is invited to learn about The American South: Its Stories, Music and Art with renowned UNC folklorist William Ferris. Learn at your own pace - at no cost - from your own home.

Use this link to participate in the MOOC.
 
If the direct course link does not work, you can also go to coursera.org and click on the "courses" tab, then click the "on demand" option on the left and then scroll through the choices until you find the UNC-Chapel Hill course with Bill Ferris. Please note that you may see an option to pay $49 for a certificate upon completion of the course, but that is entirely optional.

Reunion Patrons

Many thanks to our Class of '65 Reunion Patrons. Class of '65 Reunion Patrons help cover costs of putting together the 50th Anniversary Yackety Yack (print and digital), help reduce costs of reunion weekend events for everyone, and make possible a fund to assist classmates financially with reunion event costs. Learn more and access the online Patron Donor Form.

Connect on Facebook

Join the UNC Class of 1965 Facebook group to share fun conversations and spark memories. For example, do you remember what Roy Orbison song was popular when you were packing up and getting ready for college in 1961? Classmate Bill Walker does, and he even provided a link to hear the song.
