Touch Point Online Magazine, Summer 2024 – Vol. VIII, Issue 2

ºÚÁÏÍø will welcome alumni back to campus for its annual Homecoming celebration on Saturday, September 28, 2024. This beloved event is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends, explore the updates happening around campus and revisit cherished locations. From your favorite spots in Downtown Kent to the College of Nursing’s home in Henderson Hall, there will be plenty of opportunities to reminisce about your college days and catch up on the latest here at ºÚÁÏÍø.

Whether you’re celebrating your first year as a graduate or your 50th, we are excited to see you on campus once again. The day will be packed with activities for the whole family. Join us in the morning for the annual Homecoming Parade, then make your way over to the Flash Nation Tailgate for food, entertainment and camaraderie prior to the ºÚÁÏÍø vs. Eastern Michigan University football game. Bring your family and friends for a weekend of reminiscing, excitement and ºÚÁÏÍø spirit as we cheer on the Golden Flashes as they strive for victory on the field.

This year, the College of Nursing is especially excited to celebrate the Class of 1974 as they commemorate 50 years since their BSN graduation. As our honored guests, those in attendance from the Class of 1974 will receive special recognition during the Homecoming Parade, admission to the football game and a commemorative College of Nursing t-shirt to symbolize their legacy at ºÚÁÏÍø. Additionally, they will be invited to a special meet and greet with College of Nursing Dean Dr. Versie Johnson-Mallard to learn more about the college’s latest developments, share their favorite nursing program memories and discuss the future of nursing education at ºÚÁÏÍø.

Homecoming is not just about looking back; it’s also about celebrating the vibrant university community that continues to thrive. When you come home this fall, don’t forget to tour the campus to see the exciting changes and improvements that have taken place over the years. Stop in and visit Henderson Hall, engage with our current students and see firsthand how the college renovations are helping us to continue our tradition of excellence in nursing education.

This year’s event promises to be a memorable celebration of our shared history, achievements and the enduring bond that ties us all to ºÚÁÏÍø. Stay tuned as we share more details about the weekend’s events in the coming months.
