From the Desk of Mike Peterson I absolutely love fall. Cooler weather returns; the leaves turn various hues of orange, red, and yellow; football season is under way; students are back in classes; and many alumni return to campus to enjoy the wide array of fun activities during Warrior Weekend.

These impressive men all graduated in 1963. I’m always amazed at the stories of success that are revealed through this time of celebration.
and Christmas is fast approaching. These are special times when families gather together to celebrate. You are part of a larger family that we like to call the Warrior community. This is a family that extends across the United States and around the world. Be proud to be a member of this Warrior family!
If you’ve never experienced one of our Homecoming weekends, I encourage you to make plans to join us next year on the Fort Wayne campus for Warrior Weekend ’14 September 19 – 21. The weekend is full of exciting events and activities for alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends. No matter what year you graduated or even if you’re still in school, there is something for you to enjoy. Another reason to join us for next year’s Warrior Weekend is to take a tour of the latest addition to the campus: the new academic center. This will be an impressive and beautiful building which will become a focal point for student activity. Our tentative plans include several activities and special performances in this new facility during Warrior Weekend ’14.
