GREENEVILLE<\/strong> \u2013 An abundance of exciting events will bring together the Tusculum University<\/a> family, alumni<\/a> and the community as Tennessee\u2019s first higher education institution embarks on its annual Homecoming<\/a> celebration.<\/h3>\n

Tusculum will be buzzing with activity starting Tuesday, Oct. 28, and continuing through Sunday, Nov. 2. Homecoming not only represents an opportunity for alumni of all generations to return but also provides a great way for the community to experience the ambience of campus and become even more engaged with the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that Homecoming is upon us,\u201d said Dr. Scott Hummel, Tusculum\u2019s president. \u201cWe look forward to seeing our alumni again, whether they are regular visitors to campus or have been away for a while, and hearing their stories about the ways Tusculum transformed their lives. We also welcome all visitors from the community to participate so they can see the vitality of our campus and the way Tusculum contributes to the strength of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another group that will be able to enjoy the Homecoming festivities is prospective new students and their families. Tusculum is holding an open house<\/a> Saturday, Nov. 1, so potential new Pioneers can learn more about the university and campus life and imagine themselves as a student.<\/p>\n

Tusculum will also use Homecoming to mark the 20-year anniversary of the renovation and expansion of the Thomas J. Garland Library<\/a>. Another component of that event will be the formal launch of the $13.5 million Frontiers fundraising campaign.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the main events of Homecoming:<\/p>\n
