Sixteen members of the GW Alumni Emeriti Society — undergraduate alumni who graduated from GW over 50 years ago and alumni who are 72 years of age or more — represented the university and joined the academic procession on the National Mall during commencement to celebrate with the class of 2012. Prior to commencement, they met for breakfast at Alumni House, and after the festivities on the Mall, they returned there for a luncheon.
In addition to this tradition, society members also gather at other annual events, including Alumni Weekend where they welcome the undergraduate 50th reunion class into the Society during an induction ceremony.
