Golden and diamond grads shine on campus

Washington State University graduates from the class of 1947 and 1957 are reuniting at the Golden and Diamond Grad Reunion.

The event is sponsored by the university and the WSU Alumni Association. During their stay, grads can reminisce with friends during the luncheon and welcome reception or see the changes on campus during the bus tour.
