Many thanks to all who came back to campus for Alumni Weekend and Homecoming 2010.  It was a great weekend for Purple Raider alumni!  We extend our appreciation to all who worked to spread the word to their classmates and to plan reunion events.  Please put the weekend of October 8-9, 2011 on your calendars now and plan to come back to campus and join friends and former classmates for Alumni Weekend and Homecoming 2011.  We are looking for class agents to contact classmates for their reunion year - those ending in 1's and 6's.  Please contact the Office of Alumni Relations and University Activities if you are interested!

GO RAIDERS!!
