LOGAN – A tradition since 1930, once again the USU Alumni Association will welcome alumni, students, and community members to celebrate Homecoming Week events beginning Monday, Oct. 2.
Events continue all the way to Saturday, Oct. 7, the day of the homecoming parade and the football game against Colorado State. CSU has been the Aggie homecoming opponent 16 times and the Aggies are 9-6-1 in those games, including winning the last three homecoming games against the Rams.
USU will honor four notable Aggies for their contributions to the university.
David and Lynette Jenkins, avid supporters of USU, will be Grand Marshals for the parade. David is the founder of Conservice, the nation’s largest full-service utility management company. Recently the couple became owners of the Logan Golf and Country Club.
Other honorees include Edward Porras, Alumnus of the Year, and Amberley Lana Snyder, Young Alumna of the year.
There are about two dozen official events during homecoming week and notable among them are A Day of Giving on Thursday, Oct. 5 to help raise money for student scholarships.
Friday, Oct. 6 just before midnight is True Aggie Night, under the “A” lit blue atop Old Main. Saturday, Oct. 7 will begin with the Running of the Bulls 5K at 8:30 a.m. followed at 10 a.m. by the Homecoming Parade which begins at Center Street and Main.
Kickoff for the Homecoming football game is 6 p.m.
