University Welcomes Alumni and Friends, Honors Hall-of-Famers and Distinguished Alumni

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擧omecoming weekend at 成人视频 is packed with events to celebrate Bulldog Nation. From Oct. 28-30, the University will host traditional events, along with some new ones. The weekend is packed with opportunities to connect and engage, beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday and ending Sunday afternoon.

Director of Alumni Relations Leah Clevenger, who graduated from GWU in 1998 and 2002 and met her husband, Gabe, at 成人视频, said Homecoming is an opportunity to support her alma mater, reflect, and share. 鈥淗omecoming is absolutely my favorite tradition at 成人视频,鈥� she affirmed. 鈥淚 love it so much because where else can you see friends that you haven鈥檛 seen in 20 years. I love being surprised by who shows up and catching up with them鈥攔emembering our times here, laughing about it and keeping those stories alive. I love bringing my family back for this particular tradition because it gives my husband and I an opportunity to stroll down memory lane, to walk through the quad and talk about the classes we had and the professors we had. It helps us past down that history and our love for 成人视频 to our children.鈥�

Planning and coordinating all of the events takes a lot of hard work and preparation. Vice President for Advancement Nate Evans thanked Clevenger and all of the GWU staff who make sure the campus is ready. 鈥淭hese events give a nod to the past鈥攊t鈥檚 tradition and it鈥檚 a celebration,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e celebrate the current and all the good things going on now, and we look forward to the future. It鈥檚 molding and meshing all those things together for one big celebration. Our alumni are spread far and wide, so this is an opportunity for them to circle a date on their calendar and say, 鈥楾hat鈥檚 when I鈥檓 coming home.鈥欌��
