Alumni Homecoming, Knight Out and Alumni Leadership Summit

By Georgene Pilling ’04M, Director of Alumni Relations

Alumni returned to campus on Saturday, Oct. 15, to celebrate a festive and beautiful homecoming, enjoy the student carnival along the Walk of Pride, join families at the afternoon picnic, and cheer on the soccer, field hockey and volleyball teams. The campus grounds were beautiful, decked out in autumn splendor, and alumni were amazed at the growth of the University—new buildings, the new soccer field, the nearly complete University Commons and the lush grass on Haber Green.

President Oxholm on the Campaign Trail

Across the country, Beaver College and Arcadia University alumni have been welcoming President Carl (Tobey) Oxholm III at receptions held in several major cities, including stops in California, Texas and Colorado. President Oxholm also visited Washington, D.C., recently to share his vision for the University and meet local alumni. Photos.

Athletics: New Facilities, Fitness Director and National Ranking

Arcadia’s Board of Trustees voted to approve turf and lights for the newest athletics field on Easton Road on Oct. 21. The field will be ready for the fall sports season. This decision came a week after Arcadia’s new full-time strength and conditioning coach and fitness director joined the staff, and six weeks after the new fitness center opened. In addition, the women’s soccer team made headlines when it earned its highest-ever national ranking in October.
