Everyone… Once we have sung, “Happy Birthday!” to Dr. Morris, birthday cupcakes will be served under the tent on the berm (hill | north end zone side). The HCU Alumni Association Advisory Board is providing inflatables – for children young and not so young – to add to the celebratory atmosphere!

Last but not least … We are always asked, “What do I wear?” Wear your best orange and blue! Vintage items, new items … as long as they are orange and blue and show your Husky spirit, they are perfect! (Alumni going on Dunham Field for the Gathering of Graduates – no high heels! You will lose major husky points if you poke holes in the new turf! Wedges, flats, and athletic shoes are all good choices.) Be sure to dress for the weather as most events are outdoors. Want to pick-up something new? The University Bookstore will be open 10am-2pm.
Any other questions or concerns, contact us in Alumni Relations: alumniassociation@hc.edu or 281.649.3413.
