蹤獲扦 will celebrate Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 3. 蹤獲扦 alumni, students, faculty, staff and the community are invited to come together to celebrate and enjoy a fun-filled weekend of events, including the Bowman Cup 5K Race, Homecoming Parade and football game against the Miami University RedHawks.
This years homecoming will feature 蹤獲扦 alumnus and Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman as the Parade Grand Marshal. Edelman was a starting quarterback for the 蹤獲扦 football team from 2006-2008. He is a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, and he helped the Patriots to a Super Bowl XLIX victory this past February.
The 蹤獲扦 Homecoming Parade steps off at 11 a.m. The football game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. at Dix Stadium.
Before the football game, live music by Tricky Dick & the Cover-Ups will be featured at the new Tailgate Party at Dix Stadium starting at 1 p.m. A great event for any 蹤獲扦 Golden Flash, the gathering will feature a food truck, face painting area, games and a chance to win prizes.
Other highlights of the day include open houses at the May 4 Visitors Center; new Center for the Visual Arts; the Student Recreation and Wellness Center; College of Education, Health and Human Services; College of Nursing; and tours of downtown aboard Lolly the Trolley, a Flash Photo Zone and a faculty lecture on the Flapper Fashions of the 1920s.
