Utica College Homecoming



Alumni and Family Weekend • September 19 - 21, 2008


MUSIC AND MEMORIES


Register Now for Homecoming 2008 - Click HereThink back to your days at UC. What was on the radio when you first arrived on campus?

Music may not define your college years, but for many of us, memories of UC are stimulated by songs of the time. From vinyl to cassettes, from CDs to MP3s … the ways we listen may have changed over the years, but not our memories. Just the opening bars of a favorite song can transport us back to good times on campus, at the big games, in the residence halls and at the student center. It’s as though each individual UC experience has its own personal soundtrack. What was yours?

This Homecoming, we’re celebrating music and memories, from the days at Oneida Square right up to the present. Join classmates, friends, parents, faculty, and staff as we make great new memories over a weekend filled with music, laughter, fireworks, and fun… as well as a lot of catching up. It’s going to be a great time. See you there!
