As a staff member, Homecoming has become so special to me. Seeing grads from 50+ years return to campus to relive their memories at the Golden Anniversary Brunch is always a favourite. Their stories remind me why Western and our alumni are so special.

Homecoming was always a favourite — the football game, the sea of purple, and the buzz across campus. Now, helping run it as staff feels like a full-circle moment. It’s fast-paced, but I still look forward to it every year!
