FHSU’s 102nd Homecoming an unforgettable success
Fort Hays State University’s 102nd Homecoming welcomed new and familiar faces to our beautiful campus. Classmates from the 50- and 60-year reunion classes exchanged memories and stories of their time at FHSU. Faculty and staff cheerfully greeted alumni returning to campus and showed off both new and renovated spaces, like the recently updated Rarick Hall. Golfers participating in the annual Homecoming tournament teed off Thursday morning with more than 40 teams on the course. As the sun set that evening, Tiger fans gathered for the annual bonfire and pep rally and celebrated Homecoming’s commencement with music and food from local vendors. Friday welcomed guests for a full slate of events, including walking and bus tours of campus and Hays, a Half Century Club induction and luncheon, the Oktoberfest, and the annual Alumni and Friends Awards Banquet celebrating this year’s six alumni award winners. Several on-campus entities invited alumni back to their individual areas, including Criminal Justice, Forsyth Library, FHSU Wrestling, and Geosciences. Political Science celebrated a milestone in its history marking 85 years since its inception. President Tisa Mason welcomed community members for a campus update and breakfast on Saturday. The classes of 1962 and 1972 gathered together for reunion breakfasts before heading off to the Homecoming Parade. Fully warmed up from tailgating festivities, Tiger football fans cheered on FHSU as they faced off against the Washburn Ichabods. Year after year, the warmth and camaraderie of Homecoming demonstrates the strength of our extended FHSU family and what a special place Fort Hays State University truly is. FHSU Homecoming 2023 is set for September 28-30, so mark your calendars!
