Homecoming – October 2 - 4, 2009

At Albion, "What are you thinking?" is a question we can't stop asking. This year alumni will have the opportunity to tell us "What you are thinking?" at Homecoming 2009. The top submissions will be posted on the Albion website throughout the 2009-1010 school year.

And this year’s Homecoming proves to be an activity-packed weekend as usual. On Friday, October 2, 2009 join us for the Briton Classic golf tournament in the morning. Friday evening brings a variety of options. We will be hosting our Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Baldwin Hall. The evening is sure to heat up with the Alumni and Student Bonfire and Pep Rally at the Beese-Havens Boathouse.
