Calling the class of '72!
If you started at Warwick in 1972, 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!

... and the class of '77!
Visit the Warwick Reunions website for more information on the 30th anniversary of the year group who started in 1977.
