Dear Eagles,

Homecoming week has arrived! I have very fond memories of homecoming from my college days, the friendships, camaraderie and school spirit, all of which I hope to bring to you through this exciting week of programming.

I encourage you to attend the many Homecoming Week events, including our Student Affairs tailgate before the game.

Attention Sophomores and Juniors, the Career Center, Endeavor program is open for registration!  Endeavor is a free three-day career exploration program during winter break. I encourage you to sign up! See further details below.

Finally, we are already planning ahead for Marathon Monday! If you are interested in providing us with your opinion on who you would like to see, please take this survey.

In the meantime, I hope to see you at the many celebrations happening this week. 

Go Eagles!
