Making this Homecoming program truly special will be the opening of an art exhibit on Friday afternoon beginning at 4:30 in the Archives of the Paul Barret, Jr. Library. Dean Jameson Jones ’36, whose watercolors will be featured in the exhibit, will be present beginning at 4 pm to enjoy the chamber music played by Rhodes faculty members, coordinated by Dr. Carole Blankenship ’85, assistant professor in the Music Department.
Homecoming Registration Contest
Last year, I accepted an invitation from young alumni to join them late in the evening at Silky O’Sullivan’s on Beale Street. I was amazed at the number of alumni who were there. We had no idea many of them were even attending Homecoming, because they had not registered.
It′s so important to register for Homecoming in advance. In order to encourage registration this year, we will hold a drawing for several prizes—including a $100 Target gift card and a personal DVD player. Alumni will be entered once for registering and again for checking in at Homecoming.
Registrations help us prepare for the events where food, beverages, and furnishings are needed. They also announce your imminent presence to friends and long-lost acquaintances through the "see who’s coming” page.
