Golden Grad Weekend
Class of 1976!
Mark your calendar now and make plans to join us for Golden Grad Weekend 2026, May 8 & 9!
Tickets will be on sale after the new year.
We are excited to invite all alumni from the Class of 1976 and earlier to Golden Grad Weekend at Northwest Nazarene University! This year, we joyfully welcome the Class of 1976 into Golden Grad status—an honored milestone in the NNU community.
Join us in celebrating this special occasion with a weekend of connection, reflection, and celebration. As always, these events are open to all Golden Grads, because at NNU, once a Golden Grad, always a Golden Grad!
