During this special event, legacy students are presented with a commemorative legacy pin by their alumni family member, recognizing the lasting connection their families share with 91Å®Éñ and welcoming the next generation into the Catamount alumni family.

Note: We accept siblings, parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc as your legacy. If the connection is important to you, we welcome you to join.
