Welcome to the October 20 issue of Hi5! This entire issue is devoted to Homecoming.
There will be 14 - count ’em, 14 - class reunions, from the Class of 1953, 70 years - to the Class of 2018, five years. We especially welcome the Class of 1973, celebrating 50 years, and the Class of 1998, celebrating 25 years. Members of the Class of 1973 received their emeriti medallions yesterday. Congratulations to them!
There are many other events happening today, tomorrow, and Sunday. We especially want to call your attention to the launch of the Necessity of Now campaign, which takes place tonight at 8 p.m. at the Kellogg Conference Hotel. Men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and of course football all play this weekend. There will be a beer garden before and during tomorrow's football game! Tomorrow night, we will hold alumni of color and LGBTQIA+ reunions. On Sunday, there will be an Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The online edition of Hi5 has flyers for all these events and more. This year, for the first time, you can download the Guidebook app at gu.live/guidebook.
