Golden Knights

Honoring Marian Alumni 50+ Years After Graduation

The Golden Knights honors Marian University alumni who have reached the meaningful milestone of 50+ years since graduation from Marian University, formerly Marian College (1936–2009). Distinct from the annual 50-Year Class Reunion, The Golden Knights brings together alumni across generations who share a deep and lasting connection to Marian.

The Golden Knights Alumni Society recognizes Marian University graduates who have reached the meaningful milestone of 50 years since earning their degree. This distinguished group reflects the loyalty, service, and lifelong connection that define the Marian experience across generations.

Through shared stories and meaningful moments, members are invited to recapture the magic of their Marian years, honor classmates who are no longer with us, and reflect on the lifelong impact of their education. It is a celebration of loyalty, legacy, and the enduring Marian spirit carried forward by more than 2,400 living alumni from the classes of 1944–1975.
