homecoming 2016 OCTOBER 20-23
welcome home
Right now, you can be sure the campus is bustling with activity as everyone prepares for this annual rite of fall. I encourage you to not only join the celebration, but invite your alumni friends to return with you. In the pages that follow, you will find a full schedule of activities from Thursday through Sunday that will ensure Homecoming 2016 is a memorable one! This year we will highlight some new activities – Black Alumni programming, Flame Run 5K, a hot glass demo, and special dedications. Not to worry, the weekend will still center on special Centre traditions like honoring distinguished alumni and outstanding athletes; cheering on our student-athletes; celebrating reunions; reconnecting with emeritus professors; and taking in a day at the races at Keeneland. When you arrive on campus, please be sure to stop by the Chenault Alumni House to check-in, grab a quick bite of delicious local treats, and pick up your Homecoming 2016 commemorative gift. As always, I look forward to seeing you,
Megan Haake Milby ’03 Director of Alumni Engagement
