This year’s Homecoming, with the theme “Come Home to Liberty,” is being expanded to include an Alumni Weekend full of activities. Alumni Relations, Athletics, Marketing and the Career Center, have been planning events to help alumni reconnect with old friends and the campus where they spent some special — and perhaps the most memorable — years of their lives.
One of those events is The Alumni Business Executives Day, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23. Alumni can choose to participate in a special Alumni Business Executive Luncheon, a golf excursion, a Business Professional Alumni Q & A session to learn from experienced Alumni professionals, and a networking fair to represent the company they work for and offer advice to current Liberty students.
“We want to offer opportunities for alumni to share how they graduated from Liberty and what they’re doing now,” said Carrie Barnhouse, a 2001 alumnus and a member of this year’s Alumni Weekend planning committee. “Our students want to be encouraged by someone who’s gone before them. … Hopefully, it will result in internship and job opportunities for students past, present and future.”
