Homecoming/Family Weekend

Filed under: Events — Valerie Gillispie @ 4:46 pm

Our new president, Michael Roth, will be inaugurated on November 2. The inauguration is being combined with Homecoming/Family Weekend, and there will be a lot to do and see on campus. Special Collections & Archives is having an open house on Saturday, November 3 from noon to 4pm. Stop in and visit the beautiful Davison Rare Book Room and peruse a selection of archival materials.

In the morning on November 3, staff members Suzy Taraba and Valerie Gillispie will be presenting a WESeminar called “A History of Wesleyan Presidents.” Find out who they were, what they believed, and what they did for fun! The presentation will be followed by a light-hearted “quiz,” and all participants will get a special treat!
