Homecoming Highlights

The Homecoming '08 weekend promises to be the best yet!

Homecoming 2008 marks the 50^th anniversary of Men's Soccer at FSU, the dedication and naming of the Dr. Georgiana von Tornow Lobby in Robert Marvel Theatre, the 25^th anniversary of our Sound Recording Technology program, the second annual Frederick Ruterbusch Memorial Run, and a host of other special events. Two alums will be recognized for outstanding achievement in their respective fields: at 10:30 AM, on Saturday, Oct. 18, John Poppo '84 (Sound Recording Technology) will be honored at the Sound Recording Anniversary celebration in Mason Hall. Michael Petsky '85 (Business Administration) will be recognized at an Alumni Award Luncheon, at noon, in the Marche dining area, located on the second floor of University Commons (formerly known as Cranston Hall). Rounding out the noon program will be special recognition of all of our Golden Grads (those alums from the Class of 1958 and before) and all honored classes. Popular English faculty member and author, Dr. Mac Nelson, will be signing copies of his latest book, "Twenty West," in the University Commons Bookstore, at 2 PM.

Also on Saturday, the College of Education will be holding its 2nd Annual College of Education Friends Gathering and Reception from 10:30 am - noon in the Pucci Room, located on the second floor of the Williams Center. Take this time to catch up with old friends, faculty and emeritus while enjoying some light refreshments. All alumni, friends and faculty are invited to attend. For additional information please contact Heather McKeever at 716-673-3321.

There are several free musical performances to which we would like to draw your attention. The Fredonia Reunion Jazz Ensemble will once again perform on Friday evening at 8 PM, in Rosch Recital Hall. Please make every effort to attend the Choral Concert, showcasing the talented Women's Choir, Chamber Singers, and College Choir, at 3 PM, on Saturday, in King Concert Hall. At 8 PM that evening, again in King Concert Hall, our own College Symphony, featuring viola faculty member, David Rose, promises to be an outstanding performance.

Later on Saturday, the Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Dinner will be held at 6 PM (Cash bar reception - Dinner at 7 PM), in the Marche dining area, on the second floor of University Commons. Honored this year will be Melanie Yaskulski Deemer (Softball), Robert Healy (Track), Chris Hughey (Basketball), Chris Whitmore (Soccer), and Bud Carpenter (Honorary) - former staff member/current Head Trainer with Buffalo Bills.

The Sunday afternoon jazz concert , "Bird with Strings: A Tribute to Charlie Parker" will feature a pre-concert talk in Rosch Recital Hall, at 12:30 PM, with concert to follow at 1 PM. Don't miss this rare tribute featuring Canadian saxophonist Darcy Hepner, pianist and Fredonia alumnus Tony Caramia '73, and the Fredonia Chamber Jazz Ensemble. Under the direction of Bruce Johnstone, audiences will experience the beauty and warmth of this beautiful, timeless and engaging music. ... Bird Lives! Get your tickets now!

The Classes of 1968, ‘83, and ‘98 will all celebrate anniversaries with special events. For all of the other honored classes - the Classes of 1963, 1973, 1978, 1988, and 2003, there will be recognition of your respective anniversaries at the Award Luncheon on Saturday.
