The theme for this ESU’s 2012 Homecoming is “Blast from the Past,” a look back at the university and the local community through the decades.  “Homecoming this year is all about celebrating the rich history of ESU and building new traditions with our current students as well as our neighbors in the community,” says Chris Bello, assistant director of student activities and co-organizer for the parade.  “We hope to get a great response from the community to join us in this important celebration.”  Bello adds that the parade will be followed by a football match-up between the Warriors of ESU and the Rams of West Chester University.

According to Kim Raub, coordinator of commuter student services and co-organizer of the parade, there is a time commitment for each group to consider when signing up to participate.  “Groups should arrive for parade line-up at 9 a.m. In addition to having our student organizations involved, we’re hoping to see high school groups, civic organizations, classic cars and more in this year’s parade.  Ideally, we want this parade to become an extension of ESU’s Homecoming … and to generate the same excitement and interest as other community parades.” Raub adds that the parade is only one of many activities planned for this year’s Homecoming at ESU.  A full schedule of events will be announced this fall.
