A mix of new and traditional activities await University of Wisconsin Oshkosh alumni who plan to head back to campus for the Xtreme Games-themed 2009 Homecoming Oct 16-17.

“We are gearing up for another exciting Homecoming celebration,” said UW Oshkosh Alumni Director Christine Gantner. “This year’s plans include a new Tour de Titan Bike Ride, an alumni art exhibit, campus tours, and a continental breakfast and open house at the new Student Recreation and Wellness Center.”

The Tour de Titan will include a one-hour bicycle ride and a shorter family ride that both begin at SRWC and end at Tent City, located south of the Oshkosh Sports Complex on Josslyn Street.

“Tent City will be bigger and better than ever, with complimentary food, refreshments and entertainment, including live music by Old Mil, which features several alumni,” Gantner said.
