Centre College Homecoming 2018

2018

come back home October 25-27

HOMECOMING

NO PLACE LIKE HOME(COMING) Whether you are celebrating a reunion (like my classmates and I) or only able to stop by for a few hours, there will be a tornado of activities on campus. Be sure to check out the wicked schedule of events for Homecoming 2018.

The weekend will showcase a variety of offerings – affinity reunions, special dedications, alumni tailgates, and more! You can also count on annual traditions like honoring distinguished alumni and outstanding athletes, cheering on the Colonels, and reconnecting with your friends.

So, keep your fingers crossed for no unusual weather and follow the yellow brick road to the Chenault Alumni House where you will be greeted by Centre staff, invited to sign the guestbook, and encouraged to taste some delicious local treats!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Director of Alumni & Family Engagement P.S. Be sure to get your tickets for The Wizard of Oz on Friday, October 26! (Details on page 5)

There’s no place like home!

There truly is no place like home as the greatest family musical of all time, the wonderful Wizard of Oz, twists its way into Danville! The entire family will be captivated as they travel down the Yellow Brick Road and beyond with Dorothy, Toto, and their friends the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow in this lavish production, featuring breathtaking special effects, dazzling choreography, and classic songs.

A spectacular celebration of the iconic 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz will blow you away from the moment the tornado touches down and transports you to a dazzling Oz, complete with munchkins and flying monkeys. Don’t miss the chance to travel “Over the Rainbow” and experience this national treasure on stage.
