Note from the Director of Alumni Relations DEAR ALUMNI & FRIENDS,

Dragons for Life!

We have loved having you back on campus and visiting you on the road this past summer. No matter how long it has been, one thing that does not change is our LOVE for our TU.

We are extremely excited to share our NEW Green & Gold – Homecoming and Family Weekend schedule with you. The focus of this weekend is to bring together all who love TU – alumni, students, families, faculty, staff, parents and the community. We have created events specifically for you and your families to share your Dragon pride. We are excited to be hosting the GREEN & GOLD FEST on campus from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Join us in Hayes Courtyard for a festival celebration with food, activity tents, live music, games and entertainment for all ages including inflatables, an obstacle course, trackless mini train, nine-hole putt-putt and more! Picnic tickets will also be available for a delicious lunch from Cole Dining Hall. Registration is highly recommended for Green & Gold Weekend. Your registration will get you your ticket to the football game on Saturday. You must register by Friday, September 23, 2022. Late registration may result in not being admitted to an event. For the full agenda visit tiffin.edu/alumni/greenandgold.

We are planning to get back out on the road this fall to visit the same cities we did last year including Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Scottsdale, Columbus, Cleveland and Tiffin. If you live in these areas and missed us last year, we would love to see you this year. Please be sure to check the website and your email for an up-to-date listing of alumni events near you at tiffin.edu/alumni/events.

On behalf of Tiffin University and the TU Alumni Association, thank you for all that you do for Tiffin University and our students.
