“Homecoming is a growing tradition at West Georgia Technical College,” said President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “We had great participation last year and we are excited about this year’s festivities.”
The week of events begins with a kickoff celebration and includes a masquerade party, movie night on the lawn, a home game for the WGTC Volleyball team and campus decorating competition. It ends with the highly anticipated Olden Knights vs. Golden Knights basketball game where faculty and staff play against current student athletes. There will be a tailgate party before the game, which will feature the crowning of King and Queen during halftime. The Saturday events will take place on the campus of Central High School in Carrollton.
“In the past we have had a wonderful turn out but would like to get even more people involved,” said Student Activities Coordinator Alaina Abney. “This year, we have created the Campus vs. Campus Spirit Competition and the Organization vs. Organization Competition.”
The spirit competitions between campuses and organizations are a new addition from last year’s festivities. Each campus and organization will receive points for participation, event attendance and sportsmanship throughout the week. Winners of the spirit competitions will receive a plaque that will be kept at their campus.
“My hope is for the WGTC Homecoming 2011 to have a positive impact on the students,” said Abney. “I want this to become a tradition that current students and alumni look forward to and attend in the years to come.”
