Brown tells WGIL in addition to many programs being offered this weekend, one provides alumni with the opportunity to head back to class and interact with current students.
"It's very popular. Alumni are given the opportunity to return to the classroom on Friday morning, and there are a selection of classes for them to choose from," Brown said. "The feedback I receive both from faculty and alumni, is that it's a very good experience, and there is some interaction that happens between the alumni and current students."
