The Office of Alumni Affairs has invited alumni that graduated during the 1960s to RSVP for homecoming weekend activities that begin Thursday, October 8.
A group of alumni known as the Silver Sixties formed several years ago and is encouraging classmates from the 60s era to return to their alma mater for Homecoming.
The reunion of the Silver Sixties will also honor the memory of Connie Cope, a lead organizer of the group who passed away several years ago. A memorial scholarship is established in her honor through the University Foundation.
The Mustang football homecoming game will take place on Saturday, October 10 at 1:30 p.m. in Ben Altamirano Field. Preceding the game is the Homecoming parade at 10:30am, which will begin at the Fine Arts Center Theater and make it’s way around the university campus.
Other alumni weekend activities include a dinner and awards ceremony in Graham Gymnasium on Friday, October 9.
Alumni who graduated in the 1960s who would like to register for Homecoming activities should contact the Office of Alumni Affairs at 575-538-6675. To see a complete list of events, or to register online, visit alumni.wnmu.edu/homecoming.
