Fifty years after crossing the stage themselves, the Class of 1976 returned to Western Oregon University as this year’s Golden Wolves.

Leading the student procession, Kenn Lehto, Miriam Haugen, John and Lois Schrenk and Jon Carey represented five decades of memories, friendships, and Wolf pride while welcoming the Class of 2026 into the alumni family.

Here’s to the generations of Wolves who continue to shape WOU’s story, and a sincere congratulations to the Class of 2026! Wherever life takes you next, you’ll always be part of the Wolf family. ❤️🐺
