reunion Reggie reawakens RU pride for Reunion @ Homecoming Alumni weren’t the only ones who returned to Rockford University for Reunion @ Homecoming – longtime mascot Reggie the Regent made his regal reappearance on the campus scene during the festivities on Oct. 7 and 8, 2016. Reggie, a lion, was born with a 1980s student body vote, and has come and gone over the years. He was back to welcome about 50 alumni for a weekend of fun and nostalgia at the homecoming and alumni reunion held each fall semester. Activities included campus and classroom tours, musical and theater performances, a walk/run and other sporting events, crowning of the homecoming king and queen, award presentations, and opportunities to meet with President Fulcomer, faculty, students, and other alumni. Special events revolved around the classes of 1991 and 1966, who celebrated milestone 25th and 50th anniversaries, respectively. 6
