Homecoming 2007 on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2007, will
be action-packed as Reinhardt students and alumni come together
for sporting events, an alumni award presentation, reunions,
dinner, the homecoming dance and the crowning of the Homecoming
King and Queen. A big crowd is expected.
“Local alumni, don’t miss out on the fun!” said
Walter P. May, Reinhardt’s assistant dean of students and
director of student activities. “The homecoming committee has
really taken this event and run with it,” he said. “We’ll have
a great time cheering on the Eagles and Lady Eagles!”
One of the special events of the day is a
reception honoring the 50th anniversary of student
governance at Reinhardt. Current and former members of the
College’s student government association have received a special
invitation to this one-time event.
Jordan Turner, the 2006-07 SGA president, has
helped plan this reception. "We are excited to have the former
members of the Student Government Association back on campus,
and we are looking forward to thanking them for all they have
done."
Several very special Reinhardt grads will receive
the Alumnus of the Year and the Evelyn J. Gordy Alumni Loyalty
Award. “These alumni have been active advocates, cheerleaders
and advisors to Reinhardt for many years,” said Reinhardt
President Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood. “We are looking forward to
saying ‘thank you’ to these fine individuals.”
Isherwood also hopes to meet many of the members
of the Classes of ‘37, ‘47, ‘57, ‘67, ‘77, ’87 and ’97 when they
return to campus for their class reunions. Also alumni
basketball players will return for the alumni game, one of the
first activities of the day.
A new feature, Kids Corner, has been added for
the children of alumni and students. High-energy activities,
including hula hooping, limbo, dancing, island bowling, fishing
for prizes, story-telling and making hang gliders or
butterflies, will be offered to children ages 2 – 10.
The Homecoming Dance, complete with the crowning
of the Homecoming King and Queen, will conclude the day. The
student body has elected 14 students to the court, and during
the week prior to homecoming, they will elect the king and queen
from seniors on the court.
