The OSU Alumni Association presents Homecoming 2008 "Generation Cowboy." As alumni from across the U.S. prepare to come home to their alma mater to celebrate the No. 1 Homecoming in the nation, the week of Homecoming and the cultural climate of Stillwater is what makes OSU's Homecoming magically.
A tradition, which first begin in 1920, has never been bigger than this year as we celebrate 50 years of America's Greatest Mascot - Pistol Pete.
Homecoming kicks off with the Residential Life Hoedown Competition Monday night. Other events include: The Harvest Carnival and Chili Cook-off, Hester Street Painting, Orange Reflection, Walk Arounds, Homecoming and Hoops, and the finale as the OSU Cowboys take on the Baylor Bears.
Not only is this my last Homecoming as an undergraduate at OSU, but also I'm one of the top five male candidates for Homecoming Royalty. Homecoming Royalty is an alumni award presented to the top male and female of the OSU graduating class. The winner will serve as an ambassador for OSU and the OSU Alumni Association. It's such an honor to make it this far. Wish me luck.
This year's Homecoming also marks 100 years of the Paul Miller School of Journalism and Broadcasting Classes at OSU. The first journalism class taught at OSU was Agriculture Communications. As I reflect on my college career as a journalism student at OSU, I realized how significant the media is in an ever-changing society. From the printing press to the radio, press agentry to news anchors, advertising to social media.
OSU's journalism program, in my opinion, is the best in the nation. I would like to thank the alumni, faculty and staff who has helped build an amazing reputation in the journalism field.
To celebrate not only the No. 1 Homecoming in the nation, but also the 100th year of journalism classes at OSU, the Paul Miller School of Journalism and Broadcasting will be hosting an event for fellow alumni, faculty and staff two hours prior to kick-off on the lawn of the Paul Miller School of Journalism and Broadcasting.
The event will be Saturday, Oct. 18 from noon-2 p.m. on the lawn of the Paul Miller School of Journalism and Broadcasting. Refreshments will be provided.
If you're an alumni, faculty or staff member reading my blog, please make sure to RSVP to Melissa Powers or call 405.744.6354. Please include your name and the number of guest whom you'll be bringing.
Until next time,
GPaul
