UW-Whitewater celebrates Homecoming Oct. 18-24
October 16, 2009
Do you remember the '90s? Have you let go of the movie "Titanic?" Are Rachel, Monica and Chandler still your "Friends?" Well break out your rollerblades and fire up your Sega because the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is gearing up to celebrate Homecoming in "The '90s: Lived 'em, Loved 'em, Never Left 'em."
Homecoming week will kick off at noon, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009, with the window painting tradition in the James R. Connor University Center. The week concludes with the Homecoming football game at noon, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009, as the Warhawks take on the Falcons of UW-River Falls.
Kim Clarksen, leadership adviser for Career and Leadership Development, feels that Homecoming is an important experience for students and the community. "Homecoming allows us to focus on supporting all students on campus and all of our athletic teams," she said. "We also bring campus together as a whole through a set of activities that also allow us to connect with alumni and the community."
