HOMECOMING

WELCOME HOME As we prepare for your return, I encourage you to not only join us, but invite your alumni friends to come back to Centre. In the pages that follow, you will find a schedule full of activities to ensure Homecoming Weekend is unforgettable! This year promises to be a special one – we will remember Dr. Max Cavnes, honor distinguished alumni and outstanding athletes, cheer on our student–athletes, reconnect with professors, hear exciting musical performances throughout the weekend, and enjoy a day at Keeneland.

Homecoming at Centre is a special time to welcome back alumni who are celebrating their class reunions. When you arrive on campus, please be sure to stop by the Chenault Alumni House to check-in, grab a quick bite, and pick up your 2015 Homecoming Weekend commemorative gift.

As always, I look forward to seeing you,

Megan Haake Milby ’03 Director of Alumni Affairs 1
