Panther basketball took on the University of Kentucky in an exhibition game at Rupp Arena Oct. 29, a memorable experience for fans, players and coaches. The Office of Alumni Relations hosted a pre-game reception, and alumni and friends enjoyed great food and even better company. The Panthers put up a good fight with a final score of 95-72 (L).
The game marked a significant milestone for Joel Utley '74, who entered his 61st year of broadcasting for men's basketball – a national record. The SEC Network aired a portion of Joel's broadcast during the game, icing on the cake on a fun-filled evening.

Alumni-in-Training
We enjoyed engaging with the Class of 2022 as we prepared them to enter the alumni world on April 30. Members of the Senior Committee have been working with the Alumni Association Board of Directors to organize their Countdown to Commencement social events, plan their Senior Dinner and organize the fundraising and design of the senior gift. The committee members also enjoyed dinner with members of the alumni board at the Country Club of Owensboro, an expression of gratitude for their service on the student-led committee.
Members of the Class of 2022 gathered at Bar Louie to make memories during their last semester as students.

Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers from the late 60s and early 70s traveled back to Owensboro for a special reunion in October. The fraternity brothers enjoyed a weekend of reliving old memories and making new ones, including a group picture in front of the former SigEp house.
Special thanks to SigEp Sweetheart Susie (Mayrose) Barto '69 for taking the picture!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
We had a great time celebrating the holidays with members of the Wesleyan family at our Louisville Holiday Party at Woodhaven Country Club, President's Circle Holiday Party at Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum and our annual Christmas Open House at the President's Home. While the harpist was incredibly talented and the purple Santa Claus was oh-so-cute, the best part of the events was spending a few moments with our extended family during the holiday season.
