TU Founders' Day 2026
Join Tuskegee University for the 2026 Founders' Day Reunion Weekend March 27-29, 2026
It's time to celebrate! As we approach Tuskegee University's Founders' Day weekend, March 27-29, we are thrilled to welcome you back home. This is a special time to reconnect, celebrate, and honor the legacy we have built together.
This year, we proudly recognize the milestone reunion classes of 1951 (75th), 1956 (70th), 1961 (65th), 1966 (60th), 1971 (55th), 1976 (50th), 1981 (45th), and 1986 (40th). We also extend special congratulations to our Golden Reunion Class of 1976 as they celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation from Mother Tuskegee.
Whether you graduated from the Institute or the University, your Tuskegee pride continues to shine brightly and inspire others - and we can't wait to honor you for the steadfast support and dedication you have shown to your alma mater over the decades. Let's make this a memorable Founders Day Reunion. We look forward to your return to "The Pride of the Swift Growing South."
Class Giving Goals: $50,000 per Class
As part of this momentous occasion, we are launching a bold goal to raise at least $50,000 from each reunion class. We humbly invite each class to meet this goal by Founders' Day Reunion Weekend. Every gift-large or small-makes a difference, but together, as classes united in purpose, we can achieve extraordinary impact.
Classes that contribute $50,000 or more by Sunday, March 29 will be honored with a photo opportunity and check presentation to the University President during Founders' Day Convocation.
Cash and check gifts must be made by Saturday, March 28 at end of day.
Online gifts must be made by Sunday, March 29 at 8 AM.
