Homecoming 2011

thanks

 .

On behalf of Eyas – The Student Alumni Council,  we want to apologize for the arrangement of the words on this year’s whiteout Homecoming t- shirt. The jumble of words was randomly generated and we obviously did not mean for any unwelcoming phrase to be printed. Our apologies and please know that we will be sure to be more careful in the future. Thanks to all and hope you enjoyed your homecoming weekend!
