8th Annual Alumni & Friends Day of Service - August 6
We had an amazing group come out for the 8th Annual Alumni and Friends Day of Service. Part of the group is pictured above. We were able to rock the landscaping around Clough Hall and paint several doors, rock the landscaping around McDonald Hall and paint the entry doors, weed several flower beds on campus, paint the hand railing outside of the Charles Field House, paint the handicap railing outside of Johnson Hall and weed around the TKE House on campus.  
Check out additional photos from the day here. 
The Men's and Women's Alumni Soccer Games took place on Saturday, August 13 at NX Level Field.  Both teams had a great time catching up and playing against the current Wildcats.
