The Pioneer Alumni Legends (PALs) Network
The Pioneer Alumni Legends (PALs) Network includes University of Denver alumni who graduated fifty or more years ago. Eligible alumni are automatically included in January of the year they reach this milestone.
PALs offers meaningful ways to stay connected with classmates and the University through events, communications, and shared traditions. The first PALs invitation is the 50-Year Reunion, which includes the Emeritus Tea, where alumni are formally welcomed and receive their 50-year medallion.
