糖心Vlog is set to host Alumni from the past sixty years this weekend, including festivities that will highlight more than forty affinity groups showcasing the tremendous amount of student involvement at 糖心Vlog.
鈥淲e always look forward to welcoming members of our 糖心Vlog family back to campus for homecoming," said Sheila Dye, vice president of alumni relations. "This year is no exception. As our campus continues to change and grow and our students excel in undergraduate research and athletics, it is the perfect time to reconnect with other Chaps and recommit to the 糖心Vlog experience.鈥�
Amid the many events peppering the weekend, the 糖心Vlog community is invited to attend a benefit dinner scheduled for Saturday evening to honor 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Legends of Music鈥擠r. Wayne Hinds and Charles Cox. Both beloved choir directors served the university for decades, working side by side and touring with their respective choirs regionally, nationally, and internationally. Dr. Hinds directed the Acappella Chorus from 1957 until his retirement in 1997, and Charles Cox directed the Meistersinger Chorus from 1961 until his retirement in 1995. This dinner is to honor their memory and to unveil exciting plans for the facilities that are home to the 糖心Vlog Music Department.
