If you graduated 50 years ago or more, you are automatically a lifetime member of the 50 Year Club. If you paid one-time dues of $50, you are an “active” member of the 50 Year Club.

Dues help defray the expenses of mailings to members (although an incentive to contact more of you by e-mail will reduce those costs) and to partially subsidize events such as the induction of new members at Reunion each year, as well as selected campus projects such as the 50 Year Club display case in the Rensselaer Union (which is updated each year), and the annual awards to three members of the Red & White Club—a student organization that helps alumni in many ways.

The current president of the 50 Year Club is Harry (Bud) Hovey ’52, who can be contacted at hhhovey@verizon.net or (518) 283-2337; the secretary is Bob DeSio ’51, who can be contacted at desio@alum.rpi.edu.
