ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

Three outstanding members of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community were honored with the LGBTQIA Community Enrichment Awards during an event Nov. 10 in McKinnon Hall.

As the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community gathered to celebrate 125 years of rich history during Homecoming 2013, the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Black Alumni Network celebrated the accomplishments of black alumni, students and faculty at its annual Black Alumni Scholarship Gala Nov. 9.

The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ School of Communications alumnus was given the award for work he did at a TV news outlet in Wisconsin.

The Nov. 8 event, part of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s yearlong quasquicentennial celebration, kicked off this year’s Homecoming Weekend festivities with the recognition of seven distinguished alumni.

Seven outstanding alumni were recognized for their professional success, community engagement and loyal support of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ at a Nov. 8 ceremony that is part of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's Homecoming celebrations.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's yearlong quasquicentennial celebration continues this week as alumni of all ages return to their alma mater for Homecoming festivities that include tailgating, football, concerts, exhibits and award programs.

Just in time for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Homecoming 2013, the Belk Library Archives and Special Collections has digitized a number of Homecoming related videos.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ continues its 125th Anniversary video series with a reflection about the key role alumni play in advancing our university.

 

The 2013 Boston Marathon terror attack inspired Matt McGuire '05 to enter next year's marathon. He qualified for it earlier this year but is now competing for a chance to participate in the event.

Visit the Isabella Cannon Room during Homecoming Week for an exhibit that highlights the milestones and people of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's 125-year history.
