Mount Union Matters
Special Alumni Weekend and Homecoming 2010 Edition!
"All Roads Lead Home"
Volume VII; Issue 4
homecoming2Happy fall fellow alumni!  Can you hear it? Can you feel it? We are in the midst of great things here on campus and fall is in the air all around Mount Union.  The band is rehearsing and sweet sounds of the fight song flow through the air most afternoons while our fall student athletes are busy in the classroom, on the court and on the field.  We at Mount Union are so excited about our upcoming Alumni Weekend and Homecoming festivities taking place in just a few weeks - October 22-24.  I can assure you that no matter what you were involved in as a student, whether it was writing for the Dynamo or cheering on our athletic teams (and everything in between), there is a group gathering that you will resonate with.  So don't miss out. Join in the fun of "All Roads Lead Home."  I look forward to seeing you back on campus!
Best Regards,
Anne (Zimmer '95) Graffice
Director of Alumni Relations and University Activities
