Happy Homecoming!

As we look forward to the big game against St. Olaf on September 28^th, take a minute to check out the homecoming display featuring past traditions of this college holiday.  Over the years, Gustavus has hosted a variety of events and some even continue today.  Homecoming traditionally allows alumni to gather and catch up, but also includes parades, pep fests, and various shows.  Many years ago, students even gathered around an enormous bonfire to celebrate the occasion.  Don’t forget to look at the Gustavus calendar for this year’s homecoming events and stop by the display case near the reference desk in the library to learn more about the history of homecoming!
