Calling the class of '67!
If you started at Warwick in 1967, then this is your reunion year. Get in touch with friends and tutors, share memories of your time at Warwick, and return to campus for a reunion dinner on Saturday 5 April 2008.
This year we have designed a Warwick Reunions website where graduates can access details about their reunion, see who is planning to attend, view photographs and hear interviews from classmates. Graduates will also be able to check on the progress of their Class Gift.
Visit the Warwick Reunions website for more information.
The Warwick Reunions website is also an archive for other year groups not currently celebrating their reunion year, so there is something for everyone!

Record your memories of Warwick
In partnership with the University's Communications Office, we are looking for graduates and friends to submit their memories and stories for future broadcast! We'd like to invite sound file submissions from any interested individuals to be used as part of the Warwick Podcasts service.
Warwick Podcasts is an exciting initiative which allows visitors to hear from University experts commenting upon important issues, their research and events. All the recordings are available for download from the site as MP3 files or can be accessed directly from the page. It is possible to subscribe to the service to gain access to directories to get the podcasts direct to your computer and MP3 player.
What we are looking for are sound files in either MP3 or WMA format, lasting no more than 5 minutes, which should cover topics such as:
My memories of Warwick
Since graduation....
Why come to Warwick?
If you are interested in getting involved or wish to submit a sound file for use in the project, please feel free to contact sam.howarth@warwick.ac.uk or telephone: 024 7652 8478.
These recordings will be used to promote the University to prospective students as well as having real-life testimonials from graduates to serve for nostaligia in years to come! We hope you'll want to participate!
