Gold Medallion Society Brunch

Each year, The University of Tulsa celebrates one of the most treasured traditions of Homecoming, the induction of an esteemed group of alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago into the Gold Medallion Society. Each fall, new members are recognized, celebrated and presented with a gold medallion, which they are encouraged to wear to all alumni functions at homecoming and beyond. Members also receive a Memory Book, which contains college recollections from classmates, as well as updates from classmates commemorating the last 50 years.

The University of Tulsa will honor the Class of 1975 during Homecoming 2025 at the Gold Medallion Society Brunch on Saturday, Oct. 25.
