The VCSU Newsletter reports that the  VCSU Alumni Association invites all alumni and friends of the university to help celebrate Homecoming 2015 on Oct. 2–3, 2015.

Activities will begin on Friday, Oct. 2, with an ice cream social in the afternoon and an All Greek and Alumni Reunion Social on Friday evening at 7 p.m. at the Valley City Eagles. All alumni and friends of VCSU are welcome at the social, with our Greek alumni as special guests.

On Saturday morning, the Alumni Honors Breakfast will be held at the VCSU Student Center beginning at 8:30 a.m. The Honors Breakfast provides the VCSU Alumni Association with an opportunity to present fellow alumni with the Certificate of Merit, Alumni Service and Young Alumni Achievement awards. Tickets are $10 each and may be reserved by calling the VCSU Alumni Office at 845-7203 or emailing kim.hesch@vcsu.edu; you can also RSVP online at alumni.vcsu.edu/RSVP.

Five alumni will be honored with the Certificate of Merit award. The Certificate of Merit award was adopted by the VCSU Alumni Association to recognize alumni for accomplishments, service or other noteworthy honors. This year’s recipients include Donn Frahm ’79, Delores Manson ’79, Daniel Mimnaugh ’75, John Muckenhirn ’76 and Carolyn Olson ’87.

Mary Lee Nielson ’79 will receive the Alumni Service Award, which recognizes alumni or university friends who have attained exceptional achievement in their careers and have made significant contributions to the university.

This year we have two recipients for the Young Alumni Achievement Award—Wendy Birhanzel ’98 and D.C. Lucas ’96. This award recognizes recent VCSU outstanding alumni as they embark on their chosen paths and strive for greatness. The award is presented to recognize future leaders under the age of 40.

Other activities on Saturday are the parade (10:30 a.m.) and tailgating before the football game. This year we are holding a Postgame Social and All Hall of Fame Social starting at 5:00 p.m. followed by special program to honor all our Viking Hall of Famers. There is no charge to attend this event at the Valley City Eagles.
