Welcome to the Golden Panthers!
A Golden Panther is a member of an extraordinary group of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ alumni who graduated at least 50 years ago.
Established in 1974 as the 50-Year Club, Golden Panthers meet and enjoy discussing our Ferrum experiences and wonderful memories from a time we all remember fondly.
The purposes of the Golden Panthers are to recognize the senior alumni of the College, to promote friendships among the members, and to financially assist the College in achieving its educational goals.
All Golden Panthers are encouraged to participate and get involved by attending social and athletic events, reunions, the induction of 50th-reunion classes, and graduations, and most importantly, by supporting the Golden Panthers Endowment Scholarship or the Ferrum Fund.
You can make a difference by keeping the Golden Panthers vision alive for our present and future students.
Contact us at alumni@ferrum.edu or 540.365.4216 if you want to know more about upcoming events, becoming a member of the Steering Committee, hosting an event, etc.
