Homecoming
lumni, family and friends attended Homecoming Weekend October 13-15 which kicked off with the Hall of Fame banquet followed by the Young Alumni & Zero year reunion at Woodland Commons. Current students joined young alums for a night of fun and dancing. On Saturday morning, several hundred parents came together for the pre-game brunch followed by the Homecoming Day parade featuring the award-winning New Bedford High School Band, and the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen. Provost Anthony Garro spoke to the parents about the many exciting things that are happening at UMass Dartmouth. Alumnus David Schweidenback ’76, founder of Pedals for Progress, a program that donates used bikes (Spring 2005 Alumni magazine) to the developing world, collected over 100 used bikes and raised over $1000. The reconditioned bikes will be shipped in the coming weeks to Nicaragua. And of course it wouldn’t be Homecoming without a half-time barbeque served under the Homecoming Tent during the football game which ended with a routing of Salve Regina in a 17-7 win for the Corsairs. Homecoming Weekend was capped off with the 2006 Annual Alumni Awards Brunch where distinguished alumni and friends of UMass Dartmouth were honored for their commitment and dedication to the university. Chancellor Jean MacCormack and Alumni Association President Gloria Craven ’77 praised the recipients and thanked them on behalf of UMass Dartmouth’s 40,000 alumni. New members of the Corsairs Hall of Fame include: (seated l-r) Stefan Pagios ’00 and Sheila Edwards ’92; (standing) Keith Rose ’99, Mark Crowther ’90, and John Pacheco ’63.
