Homecoming to feature fireworks, mass spelling project, more
Fireworks, like these at a recent ReUnion, will celebrate the launch of the "You are Union" campaign. |
Homecoming and Family Weekend on Oct. 1 through 3 will feature the launch of the "You are Union" campaign, fireworks on Library Field, and a special opportunity for members of the Union family to "spell out" their love for the College.
"We expect a great weekend with beautiful fall weather welcoming back more than 2,200 alumni, parents, family and friends of Union," said Nick Famulare '92, director of alumni relations.
Friday's highlights include the public launch of the "You Are Union" fundraising campaign to reach $200 million over five years. Celebratory fireworks (courtesy of Steve Ente '75) are at 9 p.m. on Library Field.
Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the "You are Union" celebration continues as members of the College community gather at Library Field to spell out "UNION." A photographer will record the event from high above. Refreshments will be served, and all participants will get a t-shirt.
