ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

Furman Moseley '56 met Friday with students in the Center for Access & Success to share his own memories of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and to learn about their collegiate experiences made possible through scholarships he created.

More than 100 members of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community attended the Oct. 17 event that kicked off this year’s Homecoming festivities with the recognition of eight distinguished alumni and class and affinity volunteers.

Plans for a new academic complex excited alumni, students and faculty who gathered Friday to help launch a fundraising drive that, once complete, will allow ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ to double the amount of campus space dedicated to the School of Communications.

As part of the Homecoming 2014 festivities, the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Black Alumni Network celebrated the accomplishments of black alumni, faculty and staff during a special celebration.

The awards are the highest accolades conferred by the Office of Alumni Engagement and have been presented annually to alumni and friends of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ since 1941.

Class members contributed more than $95,000 to the university in honor of the milestone.

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams headlined the public kickoff of fundraising for ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s new communications facilities.

The School welcomes alumni back to campus with a reception and discussion of expansion plans.

Make plans to return to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ from Oct. 17-19 for Homecoming 2014, a weekend of events that include football, tailgating, alumni award ceremonies and service activities.
