Homecoming 2008 contest winners!
 |  |
Howard Booth | Bill Norman |
The Alumni Programs Office is pleased to announce this year's winning Homecoming theme. The homecoming committee had 44 submissions to choose from and, as usual, it was a difficult choice. But in their wisdom the committee decided to merge two great submissions into one theme: "Great Moments-Memories and Destinations."
Professor of Sociology William Norman submitted "Great Moments" and faculty emeritus Howard Booth submitted the theme "Memories and Destinations." We appreciate the time and thought that all the people who entered the contest put into their ideas, especially since this year the theme will also guide the inauguration activities.
Again, thanks to the entire campus for the ideas submitted. And congratulations, Bill and Howard!
