The 1908 Society
Calling all Mary Washington classes up to—and including—the Class of 1975!
Come back and celebrate with the 1908 Society at Reunion Weekend. The 1908 Society represents all Mary Washington alumni who have already celebrated their 50-year class reunions–currently the Class of 1975 and earlier.
Enjoy a special 1908 Society dinner and a designated 1908 Society tent in Ball Circle. Enjoy Alumni College classes, tours of campus, a Virginia wine and beer tasting, a tour of Belmont, a University update from President Paino, the All-Class Party, and more! Golf carts will be available for anyone needing assistance getting around campus.

The 1908 Society and Reunion Giving
Reunion Giving is an opportunity to give back to your alma mater to show your appreciation for the experiences you had as a student. Many alumni reaffirm their loyalty to Mary Washington by making a “stretch” gift (larger than normal), and classmates who have never given, or who have given infrequently, may be motivated to participate as part of the celebration. During the All-Class Party on Saturday evening, we will recognize the class with the highest giving participation and the class with the highest class gift.
Because the 1908 Society is composed of all classes who have celebrated a 50th reunion, and each of these classes is invited back to every reunion, the reunion giving numbers are limited to new gifts made within that fiscal year (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 for Reunion Weekend 2026). If you have named UMW in your estate plans, be sure to let us know! Estate pledges can be counted toward Reunion Giving.
Celebrate your reunion – Make your gift now!
