• Announcing the 2010 Homecoming theme contest winner!

  The Alumni Programs Office is pleased to announce that Mari Chandler, Athletics Office Manager and Cheer Coach, is this year's winner of the Homecoming theme contest. Her winning submission is: There's No Place Like Home!!

  What fun it will be to use Wizard of Oz details in the brochure. (Watch for a yellow-brick road leading up to the Higdon Administration Building, for example. Who will wear the ruby slippers? Who is the man behind the curtain?)

  The homecoming committee had 67 submissions to choose from (an all-time record!) and, as usual, it was a difficult choice. We appreciate the time and thought that everyone who entered the contest put into their ideas. We certainly hope you try again next year!

  Go to "Alumni & Friends" on the website to view the prizes awarded by the alumni programs office and see the smiling face of the winner.

  Again, thanks to the entire campus for the ideas submitted. And congratulations, Mari!
