The Office of Student Diversity and Affiliates Pittsburg, the black alumni association, hosted seven alums from the 30s and 40s during Homecoming Weekend 2009. The honorees took part in a range of activities including an oral history session with University Historian Randy Roberts, the Inauguration ceremony of President Scott, a party at the historic Carver League, and Homecoming parade. They were also recognized during the traditional Crimson & Gold dinner.

A HUGE thank you goes out to the several student volunteers who served as escorts and assistants throughout the weekend. Couldn't have done this without you!
