Alumni, Students, Faculty and Staff
Alumni and friends from across the country converged on the Fort Wayne campus to share
in the activities and events of Warrior Weekend from September 13 to 16. There were people from California, Texas, South Carolina and many states in between. Two alumni arrived via
recreational vehicles – one from Maryland and one from New Jersey (who also brought his wife and their two cats). In addition to alumni and friends, many faculty, staff, and current students joined in the festivities as each person was asked to “Embrace Your Inner Warrior!” There were many opportunities for members of the greater Warrior community to do just that. Some of the highlights included: • The exclusive President’s Club dinner at the Fort Wayne Country Club for those Warriors who contribute a minimum of $1,000 to Indiana Tech during the year • A special TECHnology 101 presentation from Peter Alexander, founding dean of the Indiana Tech Law School • Personalized campus tours provided by Student Ambassadors •
The “Dancing to the Decades” party at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown, which featured a live band and free food on the outdoor patio and a special appearance by Elvis himself
• Prayer service hosted by alumnus Heinz Wegener
• The Road Warrior Cruise-in with many cool cars and motorcycles in the middle of campus •
The Annual Alumni Banquet where the class of 1962 was honored for their 50-year reunion in addition to the celebration of this year’s alumni awards winners (see page 11)
• A Greek Revival at JK O’Donnell’s Irish Pub Warrior Weekend came to a close with the 23rd Annual TWIST Golf Outing on Sept. 16 at Chestnut Hills Golf Club. A full field of foursomes enjoyed a perfect day on the course as students, alumni, faculty, staff, and business leaders lived it up with good food, networking, and fun in the sun! And a special thank you goes to 6-year-old Tyler Morris, who sold lemonade on hole 14 during the golf outing. He donated his entire profits ($46) to the TWIST, which supports the Moore/Trask Scholarship and the Indiana Tech Warrior Club. Be sure to get next year’s Homecoming dates on your calendar today: September 12 to 15, 2013.
