We had a magnificent Homecoming Week! My sincere thanks to our terrific Logistics and Student Affairs teams for their extraordinary work on our first ever fall homecoming. Parents Weekend was terrific, but matched by Cougar Lacrosse, Women's Soccer and Volleyball and the outdoor family movie, Finding Nemo in Woodruff Park. I was so very proud of our Club Football Team, coaches, and student-athletes for their victory at Doughboy Stadium. What a great evening. Major General Miller and his staff were so very gracious, and we had our largest attendance ever at the game. It was a grand event!
The Homecoming Parade was exceptional. This year, our Equestrian Team rode in the parade! How very proud I was of the number of floats, student participation and the great outpouring of support from the Columbus community. Mayor Tomlinson rode in the lead Mercedes, and we do so appreciate her support, attendance and advocacy.
Provost Hackett, AVP Spence Sealy, and I ran in the Cougar Madness ROTC 5K on Saturday morning. It was cold and fun. Kudos to our Cougar Battalion, Col. Feret, and cadets for a great event.
Our CSU Alumni Association dinner, dancing and fireworks in Uptown was spectacular. Dillingham Bridge was closed, and the fireworks provided a great exclamation mark on our Homecoming festivities. In all, a fantastic team effort. I am so proud of my colleagues.
