PRESIDENT’S PAGE You can find the Ferris wheel, along with live music, Homecoming t-shirt giveaways, food trucks, and more at the Homecoming Expo, taking place at the center of campus (otherwise known as BSB Field) on Friday, September 26
Some may call this back-to-school season, while others might say it’s the perfect time to pick apples at a local orchard. Those daring enough might even begin wearing gentle scarves to signal the imminence of autumn. But if you ask this guy, he will tell you that it’s time for HOMECOMING. This year’s Homecoming will be bigger than it has ever been before.

It is going to be a huge, weekend-long party and I could not be more excited. If Lil’ Jon isn’t a big enough deal for you, we also locked down something equally as cool ... a FERRIS WHEEL! And how much will it cost to ride said Ferris wheel might you ask? Approximately zero dollars, my friends! Yes, a ride on the Ferris wheel is as free as a cheer during Welcome Week.

I’m extremely excited and cannot wait to see everybody out there.
