We may be a bit biased, but we think our 2024 Homecoming and Reunion Weekend was a huge success! A big thank you to the nearly 1,000 people who registered and made it an unforgettable weekend. We soaked up the warmth and light of the traditional bonfire, cheered on our Forester football team’s 42-0 victory, indulged in Fan Fest’s food truck treats, celebrated the achievements of our newly inducted Athletic Hall of Fame members, and honored the 2024 Golden Whistle Award recipient.
Are you like us and already counting down the days until 2025 Homecoming and Reunion Weekend? We can't wait for all of the excitement and celebration the weekend will hold, and we hope you can join us on campus October 10 to 11, 2025.
The implosion of the TITAN submersible on June 18, 2023 gripped the world’s attention, and Lieutenant Commander Tom Whalen ’01 found himself at the center of the investigation into this devastating tragedy. As the lead investigator for the United States Coast Guard, Whalen worked with international partners from Canada, France, and the United Kingdom to uncover the root causes of the incident and provide much-needed answers to the families of those lost. Whalen’s role placed him in the global spotlight, front-and-center for the 11-day public hearing in August 2024, a broadcast event viewed by over 1 billion people worldwide.
