Don’t Miss Homecoming!

Every year, homecoming at the College is jam-packed with games to attend—and play—and friends to connect with. This year is no different, starting with the Friday, October 19, Gold & Blue Golf Classic all the way to the Sunday, October 21, alumni soccer and rugby games. In between, there’ll be a 5K Fun Run, a Home Run Derby, and chances to cheer our varsity athletes to victory, along with several other events. You can even participate in “Party in the U.S.A.: The 2012 Presidential and Congressional Elections,” a discussion led by political science professors Dr. Julie Blase and Dr. Brian Roberts. (See the full homecoming weekend schedule.)

As if that weren’t enough, this year’s homecoming includes the biennial Gold & Blue Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, October 20. These are the inductees we’ll be honoring this year:

Gold Award
Sidney Clark Hubbard (C’65) 

Blue Award
Stephanie Hood Case (US’99, C’03)
Nicole Gervais (C’01)
Jordan Poznick (US’90, C’94)
Jacquelyn Field Star (C’97)
Coach Seth Johnson
1977 Track and Field Team

A reception where you can meet the honorees begins in the Cox Auditorium lobby at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Induction Ceremony in the auditorium at 8 p.m. If you can only make it to one homecoming event, this is the one to attend!

Register now for homecoming weekend and the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. (It’s helpful to know in advance how many will attend the reception and ceremony, but it’s OK just to show up. You can purchase tickets at the door.)
