Top 4 Things To Do During Homecoming
1) Attend Founders Day
Yes, it’s long. Yes, it can be boring.
BUT, hearing the stories of those who have come before us, and how alumni are helping our school and our world, is inspiring.
This year’s speaker, Dr. John Saunders, has helped students find study abroad programs in countries all over the world. Thanks to his efforts, 13 Wesleyan students have earned Fullbright Scholarships.
Take the time to honor our founding and the alumni who continue to support the college.
2) Wear Black and Orange
There are few times full black and orange is appropriate aside from Halloween and Homecoming. Follow President Balch’s example and find your best shade of orange to accompany your classic black accessories. Take the opportunity to rock the look and show your school spirit.
3) Have a Conversation with at Least Two Alumni You Don’t Know
Alumni not only have THE best stories about the “olden days”, they also have advice on how to survive your 4 years. They love hearing about all the new additions to the school and will probably ask you 20 (or 100) questions. Bonus: making connections with Alumni can help when you are searching for jobs. Once a bobcat, always a bobcat.
4) Take It All In
Believe it or not, your time as an undergrad at your “home among the hills” will fly by, so don’t miss your chance to participate. Sing the alma mater, go to the events, and enjoy every minute.
5) Celebrate the 125th year of Wesleyan!
Take a special picture with John Wesley or the fountain to start the year of celebration!
