Homecoming 2010 to celebrate Titans Around the World

Bonjour! Hola! Jambo! Konnichiwa!

Alumni, students and faculty alike will find their favorite way to say “hello” to Titans Around the World, during the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Homecoming 2010 celebration Oct. 22–23.

“Homecoming is the perfect time for UW Oshkosh alumni and the community to reunite and enjoy the variety of family-oriented festivities the weekend has to offer,” said UWO Alumni Director Christine Gantner. “Homecoming game attendance has grown by nearly 35 percent in recent years. If you haven’t been back, I encourage you to come see what you’ve been missing. We have something for everyone.”

The weekend will kick off Friday evening with an alumni authors’ event at University Books & More, followed by a dinner honoring alumni award recipients in the Reeve Memorial Union Ballroom.

Events continue on Saturday with the return of the family-friendly Tour de Titan bike ride in the morning, followed by the pre-game celebration at Tent City and the 2 p.m. football game versus UW–Platteville at J. J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium. Fifth Quarter will return to the Hilton Garden Inn.
