Welcome Back Cardinals!

Welcome back Cardinals!

            We hope that everyone had an amazing summer and is happy to be back at good ol’ BSU! With the first week of the semester nearly over, we are beginning to get back in the swing of things.

            The Steering Committee is hard work to ensure that this year’s Homecoming is the best yet! The week’s events will be centered around the theme “There’s No Place Like Homecoming.” So yes, that entails lots of yellow brick roads (or red in our case of course), Dorothy and the gang, red ruby slippers and so much more!

            Homecoming Village will be returning for a second year and will once again feature a mobile zip line, entertainment, and loads of Village specials as well as some new additions. Opening day will also host the residence hall “Red Brick Relays” complete with lots of Oz themed fun!

            This year’s Homecoming week will welcome some changes. One of the biggest will be that the annual Bed Races will be taking place on WEDNESDAY this year. Still 3pm. Still Riverside Avenue. Still tons of fun. Just a different day!

            Homecoming 2013 will be hosting a new event on Saturday before the parade! The Homecoming 5K Run/Walk will allow participants to run the route of the parade before it starts.

            Stay tuned to our blog each week for a feature on the individual events. We hope to reach out to students, alumni, and community members alike with this year’s Homecoming festivities. There is sure to be something for everyone!
