When we entered Purdue University in the mid-70s, who could have imagined the day when we would celebrate the 25th Anniversary of our graduation!  Well, that milestone has come and gone - but not without some fanfare from the Class of 1980 to clebrate the occasion!

During Homecoming 2005, the Class announced plans to continue the tradition of a class gift to Purdue University in high style.  Although our class gift campaign was delayed, we are now ready to forge ahead and complete our 25th Anniversary gift campaign. 

We have a wonderful project befitting our free-wheeling generation.  The Class will raise funds to construct the Class of ’80 Courtyard - A Place in the Sun - to honor our University and our Class on the occasion of our 25th Anniversary.

The quality education we received at Purdue has played a significant role in our lives and successes.  We will always cherish the memories of the time we spent on campus and the many friends we made.  Now we would like to give something back, and also create a permanent legacy for the great Class of 1980.
