Homecoming is nearly here! Join fellow alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends at OU’s winter homecoming celebration, Come Home to OU, January 28-30, 2011.
This year’s event will feature a new Alumni Welcome Reception, scheduled for Friday night from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the “home” of OU, Meadow Brook Hall. Kick-off homecoming weekend with former classmates and old friends as you enjoy light refreshments and a cash bar. The event is free, but pre-registration is required at grizzlink.oualumni.com/events.
On Saturday morning, various academic units will host open houses to showcase student achievements, faculty research, building renovations and more. If you haven’t been back to campus lately, this is a great time to check out what’s happened since you left!
And don’t forget about the OUAA Family Festival inside the Campus Recreation Center from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 29. Enjoy the bungee run, an inflatable obstacle course, air-brushed face painting and more! Admission is free and open to everyone.
