Fifty Year Club (FYC)

Welcome to the FYC!

The Fifty Year Club (or FYC as it's affectionately known) welcomes all who have attained 50 years since attending Knox College.  A new class is inducted each year in October upon its 50th anniversary.

For more than 75 years, the Club has provided members with the opportunity to gather locally and across the country to connect with other alumni and with the College. Members gather for Reunions past the 50th at Homecoming and are invited to attend days of lifelong learning with a variety of College and alumni speakers. The Club also sends birthday postcards and two issues of the FYC Bulletin each year.

Two members of the Class of 1974 celebrate their 50th Reunion. They both are smiling at the camera and wearing purple sweatshirts that say, "Veritas, Coming Home" in tie-dye letters.
