Stay Connected

“Stay Connected” was the theme for Homecoming and Family Weekend this year! And stay connected was exactly what we did. From “in-person” regional celebrations to honor our D&E 2021 Alumni Award recipients, to Zoom gatherings for athletics, fraternities and sororities, and alumni from all decades with a very special virtual induction of the Class of 1970 and 1971 into the Half Century Club, to a special tribute to the late Terry Hayes, professor of theatre emeritus, there was something for everyone. The campus community also enjoyed bingo, s’mores and a live concert featuring D&E’s very own ’80s alumni house band The Hybrids. Led by Alex “Sandy” Edwards ’88, Karl Hilbert ’89, Chris Gartmann and Matt Vinson ’88, with Ben Quarles ’91 providing the sound, Halliehurst porch was the place to be.
