Here’s a look at what else we’re doing alumni tour-wise and in Lincoln this fall: AUGUST *25 26-Sept. 6 30 31
Join Us For Homecoming 2013 Campus will be abuzz Sunday, Sept. 29, to Saturday, Oct. 5, with a Huskers Around the World theme and homecoming week activities for students, alumni and friends. One of the newer and more popular attractions – the homecoming jester competition sponsored by the Nebraska Alumni Association and Scarlet Guard – takes place Oct. 4, immediately following the parade and pep rally on the Union Plaza. Students will compete in front of celebrity judges to be crowned “UNL’s Biggest Fan,” and the winner will make an appearance on the sidelines during pre-game festivities the next day. This is the fourth year for the jester competition.
