This was followed by the dedication of the newly renovated home for the College of Public Affairs and Community Service, groundbreaking for the Health Physical Education and Recreation Building renovation and expansion, the grand opening of our newest housing complex, Maverick Village, and the adjacent parking structure, and the Alumni Association's Homecoming Extravaganza. Not bad for the first week of celebration .....
