Show Alumni Association Serves Students, Past and Present The 1981-82 school year was an event-filled year for the Alumni of Weber State College. Homecoming started the year off with a full week of activities. Some of the activities were a football chalk talk by Coach Price, a college bowl where the alumni challenged the students in a game of knowledge and wit, and the traditional football game. After the football game, many class reunions were held. The Homecoming activities ended with an Alumni banquet and the Homecoming Ball. Other events hosted by the Alumni this year were beneficial to the college. Two buildings were dedicated on the WSC campus: The Swenson Physical Education Building and the Collett Art Building. These dedicatory ceremonies were planned by the Alumni Association. The Alumni also served as an advisory board to president Brady's office and raised money for ten presidential scholarships for students at Weber State. Each month the Alumni Association published a newspaper called "Comment" to make other alumni of Weber State aware of the current news and events of Weber State. As of this year, there were approximately 150,000 living alumni of Weber State College. Dr. Reed Swenson responded to honors at the dedication of the Reed Swenson Physical Education Building. Maggie Favero, 1982 Alumni president, presented Kent Petersen, 1981 Alumni President, a plaque thanking him for the service he devoted to the alumni at the Homecoming Banquet. The Homecoming float showed future plans to have a new house for the Alumni Keith Wilcox, Reunion Chairman, honored past WSC faculty member, ambassador Mark Austad, at the Class of 1941 Reunion. |
