Homecoming 2014 arrived with perfect, crisp fall weather.<\/p>\n

Alumni, students, and friends arrived early Saturday morning to enjoy breakfast treats, a tour of the new Speech Comm\u00a0 facility, and great seats for the homecoming parade. Our location at the corner of Patterson and Brookwood , which is on the parade route, turned out to be a popular meeting place for our alumni.<\/p>\n

The event also featured other activities for guests to enjoy including a photo booth with props, a \u201cLeave Your Mark\u201d sign-in board for alumni, student-designed photo displays of our emphases and student organizations, cornhole competitions, and hotdogs after the parade.<\/p>\n

We also raised nearly $300 for the Patterson\/Young Scholarship Funds by selling raffle tickets and student-designed Speech Comm Homecoming t-shirts.<\/p>\n

The Open House was \u201cthe perfect event to network with alumni and enjoy the company of fellow majors,\u201d according to Lauren Burdett, a senior Speech\u00a0 Comm major.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Campaigns Class planned and hosted the event as part of their senior capstone project.\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt was rewarding to see the event come together successfully,\u201d said Brittany Duren, a member of the planning team. \u201cIt was also a valuable learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
