From picture-perfect weather to a bountiful display of Brown & Gold swag that mirrored the exuberant energy of the event, this year’s Bold & Gold Homecoming Festival was an extravaganza of exciting new activities and crowd favorites.
Thousands of people attended the two-day event, which began Friday, Oct. 29, and continued through Saturday. True to its theme of “Celebration of Champions,” the YJ4L fete was a jubilant and triumphant day where laughter, joy and camaraderie united the campus community.
Precursor events for Saturday’s big Bold & Gold Festival engaged guests in music, dance, an esports ribbon-cutting and alumni reunions for Cheer Team and the Classes of 1980 through 2000 via a “rewind” reunion.
There was no shortage of smiles, selfies and flashback moments as current students and alumni united across campus for a series of special events.
From an alumni takeover of W黑料正能量C to a Black Alumni Network tailgate to an Aww Jackets Marching Yellow Jackets band rehearsal, 黑料正能量 pride and friendship were on full display as 11 groups hosted activities.
