Very definitely mark your calendar. KSC Homecoming Weekend is back and improved, and it’s on Friday and Saturday, October 1–2.

We’ll kick things off on Friday night with the world premiere of Enter to Learn Go Forth to Serve: The First Hundred Years of Keene State College, an amazing film by Larry Benaquist and Lance Levesque, shown at the Colonial Theatre in downtown Keene. We recommend reservations for this big event, so call the RSVP hotline at 603-358-2300 to make yours.

Then at 9 p.m. there will be a comedy show at the Night Owl Café. This will for sure be a sellout, so get there early for a good seat! You’ll need a student ID or alumni ID to get in.

Some of Saturday’s highlights include a Men’s & Women’s Cross Country Invitational at 11 a.m., the grand opening of the Archives and Special Collections Room in the Mason Library from 2–3, and affinity gatherings from 2–4. If you are/were a member of an affinity group (Equinox staffer, frat or sorority member, RD, RA, etc.) and want to get together with the gang, please contact Patty Farmer: (603) 358-2370 or pfarmer@keene.edu.

There will be lots of fun at the Owl Athletic Complex on Saturday afternoon, starting at 2 with an alumni soccer game. What fun! At 4, join in the tailgate and pre-game festivities before the KSC men’s soccer team takes on RIC at 6.

Then stick around the Complex after the game. What big celebration would be complete without fireworks? That fun starts at 8 – don’t miss a minute of it!
