About 300 CEHD students, alumni, faculty, staff, and their families attended the homecoming pre-parade party in the Burton Hall Courtyard on Friday, September 24. The event was followed by the traditional U of M Homecoming Parade. Fun was had by all, with the only downside being the Gophers’ 14-10 loss to the Bowling Green Falcons on Saturday.

A special thanks go to the following vendors who helped make the party a success:

• Catering: 1851 Heritage Catering
• Rentals: Apres Event Decor & Tent Rental
• Music: DJ SciPreme 
• Event Photography: Akil Photography 
• Photo Booth: Music Mix Entertainment 
• Face Painting: Fun Characters 
• T-Shirts: Boundless Network

And, of course, GOLDY GOPHER!
