The sun shone on Homecoming 2012 A nicer day couldn’t have been ordered up for Homecoming 2012. Crisp fall air was warmed by the bright sun under clear blue skies as nearly 1,200 alumni, family and friends spread out around campus, at Steel Field and into town to celebrate Moravian College. The weekend began Friday morning with members of the Lifelong Learning Committee visiting Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth, where Elizabeth “Bette” Kovach ’75 spoke about her book, Bethlehem Steel: The Final Quarter Century. At the same time, the annual Rocco Calvo Golf Tournament teed off at the Bethlehem Golf Club. The next morning, many alumni gathered in the HUB Pavilion for a continental breakfast. Throughout the day, one could hear comments about the many changes around Main Street campus, including the beautiful landscaping, the renovated first floor of Comenius, the Pavilion, the Blue & Grey patio and more. Imaginations ran wild and memories were shared at the tailgate party, as the classes of ’82, ’87, ’92, ’97, ’02, ’07, and ’12 celebrated their reunions. And during the pre-game show, the Moravian College Alumni Marching Band and Color Guard joined the student band. Photos from alumni events are available at http://www.moravian.edu/alumniphotos.
