It’s homecoming weekend and campus is filled with revelers from many different class years, as well as current students, family and friends.
Homecoming features three days of events, including the big football game against Plymouth State, the women’s soccer game against Mass Maritime, the parade, lots of food, and activities for members of the BSU community of all ages.
Special events for the classes of 1959 and 1964 kicked things off Friday.
At the family breakfast Saturday morning, President Dana Mohler-Faria told those gathered, “This experience for your son or daughter is one of the most important of their lives.” He then spoke of the university’s recent years, a time of “prolific and aggressive growth.” He also shared some impressive markers of success, including a retention rate that is now at 83 percent.
Then it was parade time. Floats created by student groups rounded the campus to the cheers of enthusiastic crowds. Judges picked the best float, and those along the route got a chance to show off their Bridgewater gear or pose for a picture with Bristaco.
