Homecoming 2008...
Cruisin' Through the Decades
Fall is upon us and many new and exciting things are happening on campus. Our enrollment looks healthy; our library is currently undergoing renovations, and many other upgrades are underway. We hope you are planning to attend Homecoming scheduled for the weekend of October 17-18. We think you will be pleasantly surprised with all of the growth and excitement.
Homecoming kicks off on Friday, October 17, with the annual 50's Get Together at the Candlewyck Inn beginning at 6 p.m. The cost of the buffet is $17.50 and includes a non-alcoholic drink, dessert, tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and the deadline is October 10. Contact Pat Hovis at (304) 788-4065 or phovis1@verizon.net for more information.
On Saturday, the Homecoming Brunch & Recognition of Anniversary Classes '58, '83, and '98 will be held in the Heritage Room, located in the new residence hall complex, from 9 until 10:30 a.m. Campus Provost Kerry Odell will provide a presentation of new campus initiatives around 10 a.m.
If you are a golfer, you might want to participate in the Potomac State Alumni Golf Outing, which will be held at the Pines Golf Course, on Saturday. The event will begin at 9 a.m. and the cost is $40 per player. Reservations can be made by contacting William Ack at (304) 788-3276.
