So. It's been a while. It was Homecoming here at North Central last weekend and the Archives and staff (read me and my two student assistants) was sucked into the whirlwind. The events involving the Archives included preparing information for a large display actually designed by Mary in the Office of Marketing and Communications. I still can't believe she fit in everything from the timeline and all those pictures! It looked awesome! It was the first public display for the 150th anniversary of the College and was up at the new Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center for Friday night and Saturday morning and then moved down to Championship Plaza outside of the stadium. Sorry I didn't get a picture of it to post! It really was cool. However, there will be a chance to see it again on November 11 - the 150th committee is hosting the campus coffee - on a special day -Tuesday - to kick off the 150th internally at least. (Incidentally - the reason for November 11 as the date to remember - Nov. 11, 1861 was the first day of classes for the College).
Additional activities for Homecoming included an open house in the Archives on Friday afternoon, Video interviews completed with several Trustees and award recipients on Friday and Saturday both, display boards from Archives for each of the 10 reunion years, and a video booth at the plaza on Homecoming Saturday. So, it's been a busy couple of weeks here and hope you understand the delay!
More soon with interesting photos and factoids.
