Share Your Chapter of "The Story of Southwestern”
Do you have a story about your time at Southwestern that stirs emotions? Are you afraid that a beloved faculty or staff member might be forgotten by future generations? Do you know the origins of a Southwestern tradition? The story of Southwestern does not simply lie in the official history, the buildings or even the yearbooks. There are thousands of stories stored within the memories and hearts of alumni. Help us capture them for future generations to enjoy. This year's theme for Homecoming and Reunion Weekend (Nov. 3-5) is "The Story of Southwestern." In the spirit of the festivities, please share your favorite Southwestern story! Stories will be released in various ways during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend. All accepted submissions will be printed in a booklet to be offered during Homecoming. Select stories will be highlighted on the ASUA Web site. And...The "Top Five Stories" will be published in the Southwestern@Georgetown magazine. Click here for details on submission entries! Submissions are due no later than Friday, Sept. 15, 2006. Read some submitted alumni stories online!
Participate in the Homecoming Alumni Ring Ceremony
Southwestern adopted its popular signet ring, bearing the University Seal, as the Official Alumni Ring so that generations of graduates may be recognized through a symbol that communicates rigorous academics and a rich community life. During Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, alumni may receive their ring from President Jake B. Schrum ’68 during the Alumni Ring Ceremony, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 4, 2006, at 10 a.m. in the Lois Perkins Chapel. Click here to learn how you can order your Alumni Ring from Balfour.
