Hello Fellow Titans!
Kelly (Goodpaster) here. I’m working with Adriane Powell, the Director of IWU’s Office of Alumni Engagement to start spreading the word and also build a committee to help develop some class activities during Homecoming this fall. In four months (September 30-October 2) the festivities will be in full swing! It’s been 10 years, so why not head back to Bloomington, check out campus and see all the changes since we graduated? Campus is looking beautiful these days and the fact that you can no longer drive down Beecher Street between Magill Hall and CNS and CLA is still a little weird to me.
We know there will be a jam-packed schedule of activities throughout the weekend and the purpose of our committee is to offer a few opportunities where we can come together as a class to share memories and catch up with each other.
If you’re interested in helping us put some plans together please email me at kelly.goodpaster@gmail.com so we can get some things going. We need support from classmates both local to Bloomington-Normal and outside the area. Even if you’re not sure you’ll be at Homecoming, we can still use your skills ahead of time!
Please spread the word, and I hope to see many of you back at IWU September 30 – October 2 for the 2016 IWU Homecoming activities!
