ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Celebrating Homecoming Nov. 9-14
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ will celebrate Homecoming Nov. 9-14 with a week of activities themed ‘Eagles Over the Big Top.”
Along with a number of student activities, the University invites the community to come out for events such as the pep rally (Nov. 12, 7 p.m.) and parade (Nov. 13, 4 p.m.). A free outdoor showing of the movie ‘G.I. Joe” will follow the pep rally, and a cookout on Sweetheart Circle will follow the parade.
“Everyone involved has worked very hard to make this one of the best Homecoming weeks ever at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥. We hope to get everyone involved in this celebration of our school, from new students to our alumni and the community,” said Rachel Baker of the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Traditions Council.
Homecoming Week wraps up Nov. 14 with the football game at 2 p.m. against arch-rival Furman. Eagle fans are encouraged to ‘blue out” Paulson Stadium by wearing as much ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ blue as possible.
