Let us know on the FAN, alumni.FranklinCollege.edu, if you plan to attend Homecoming 2016!
To my Fellow FC Alums, Yes, it is nearly that time again! Franklin College Grizzlies, come be “Part of the Tradition” at Homecoming 2016! If I regularly greet you during Homecoming at the Alumni Council Hospitality Table with FC swag, I look forward to seeing you again soon. If you haven’t been back for a while or if you haven’t returned to campus since you graduated, you should join fellow alumni this year. Much has changed, yet you will notice that some things haven’t. I’ve no doubt that your memory will be jogged and a flood of emotions will return as you feel just as young-at-heart as you did while you were a student on campus. Check out the schedule of events inside the brochure to see what is planned. I invite you to come celebrate with us!!
