Episode 30: Homecoming
Amplified Oklahoma Show Notes
October 18, 2018
Show Notes
Oklahoma State University’s Homecoming is known across the country for its huge decorations and grand displays of orange spirit. For almost a 100 years now, OSU has been putting on a great Homecoming with the guidance of the OSU Alumni Association and this tradition will carry on for years to come. From the Harvest Carnival to Walkaround and even the Homecoming Parade, there are many incredible events and friendly competitions that take place during the week of Homecoming. Since the 98th Homecoming Celebration is coming up soon, we are taking a look back at some of the memories and experiences of alumni from their Homecoming years. This month, we’ll hear excerpts from former students about some of the things they did during their Homecomings and how much they enjoy coming back every year to this celebration. Then, we talk with Melisa Parkerson, Director of Student Programs for the OSU Alumni Association, about the planning of Homecoming and her own perspective on this great tradition.
