Office of University Relations - The Real Deal

It’s funny sometimes to find out how small this world really is. During homecoming, people are visiting with friends only to discover they have kids the same age or live in the same area. Yes, many of us may have changed in appearance over the years, but we still love and value a good education and the UT Martin spirit even more today than we did while in school. For those who have not attended Quad City before, let me try to explain in very simple terms what it is about. Quad City is a “circus, farm, family reunion, music festival and food tasting road race on steroids.” The largest crowd ever enjoyed sounds from UT Martin alum David Jones (‘10) and cheered for the Skyhawks during the Skyhawk Walk! If you have not returned for homecoming, I ask you “why not?” Consider this your personal invitation to attend the 2011 homecoming, Oct. 8.  Homecoming is not just for a few groups to enjoy; it is for everyone. Come back, and if you do not enjoy it, I will let someone else write my article for the Campus Scene in the future!
