HOMECOMING
Come join us for HOMECOMING WEEK, November 14 through 19. The week of Homecoming is the most action packed week of the year. Alumni and Faculty/Staff have the opportunity to reconnect at various receptions and luncheons throughout the week.
Students kick the week off with a special Homecoming chapel on Wednesday where the Homecoming court is presented to the student body. Thursday ushers in one of the most anticipated events of the year, Mr. Big Chief. Mr. Big Chief, in short, is a comical male beauty pageant which contestants compete in swimwear, talent, and evening wear. The Homecoming Gala is the main event on Friday with alumni, faculty/staff, and students performing their musical talents in the Burg Center. After all of the celebrated class reunions and receptions, Saturday is game day.
FAMILY WEEKEND
Family Weekend was a blast! A good time was had by all at Family Weekend. Students and their families and guests enjoyed food, fun, and fellowship. Visit the DBU home page at http://www.dbu.edu to see pics from Family Weekend.
