HOMECOMING 2011

On November 5, 2011 the Sport Management Department hosted the first annual Alumni Tailgating booth before the homecoming game. It was a beautiful day, with big game fever all around. The Golden Bears played exceptionally well and beat Bloomsburg to share a piece of the PSAC East Championship. Those that came enjoyed great food and good times reconnecting. We hope to make this a yearly tradition.
