Dear CFAES Alumni and Friends,

Do you have a place on campus that brings back nostalgic memories? Maybe walking into the Kottman Hall lobby and bumping into your friends before class, or spending long days outside with faculty and fellow students at Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory? CFAES invites you to relive your favorite campus memories in these beloved spaces during CFAES Homecoming weekend!

On Friday, Oct. 6 from noon–2 p.m., each CFAES academic unit will host an open house for you to visit the spots you called home during your time on campus. Join the Department of Animal Sciences for interactive experiences exploring animal welfare, hang out with the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at their outdoor reception, and look for even more during the open houses!

Following the unit open houses on Friday, Oct. 6 from 2–4 p.m., all CFAES alumni are invited to tour the Trimble Technology Laboratory in the Agricultural Engineering Building! This Lab will be the newest established space for agricultural technology on the Columbus campus. Be among the first to see it and learn more!

Registration is free and transportation will be provided from the Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center. Sign up for the fun!

Be sure to check out other CFAES events happening throughout the weekend, including the annual Alumni Awards ceremony on Friday evening and the pregame tailgate on Saturday! You can also buy tickets for the Homecoming game against Maryland through the CFAES ticket block.

For details about all CFAES-hosted events, visit the CFAES Homecoming weekend webpage.

We look forward to seeing you during Homecoming weekend!
