A big chunk of my semester was spent serving on the Homecoming Steering Committee for Mizzou's Centennial Homecoming Celebration. In fact, I spent so much time engrossed in Homecoming activities that I barely got to blog about it! Over break, I finally had some time to create a photo scrapbook, but here are some photo memories of the various activities I got to partake in coming from the other side!

 |
We sold over $70,000 in pre-ordered Homecoming merchandise and sorted it into boxes for each residence hall or campus organization.
 |
| As a member of the merchandise subcommittee, we sold Homecoming shirts, ornaments and UnderArmour apparel throughout campus the weeks leading up to Homecoming! |
|
 |
| Tiger Food Fight, the campus-wide canned food drive, collected over 65,000 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri! |
 |
| For Centennial Service Day, I led a group of students to pick up litter at Reactor Field, a popular Mizzou tailgating location. |
 |
Over 5,000 units of blood were collected at the four-day blood drive at the Hearnes Center.

Chester Brewer, former athletic director and football coach, was honored as the Grand Marshall.

| Phi Mu's house decorations on Campus Decorations Night! I got to walk around with my family and all of my friends after monitoring the streets for a little bit. |
 |
| We woke up for an early morning breakfast and got on the firetruck to be in the Homecoming Parade! |
 |
| At the football game, we got to go on the field and kiss the 50 yard line at the halftime coronation. |
 |
| What a great way to close our Homecoming experience! My knees were even grassy after. |
 |
| After the afternoon game, my friends had a post-game tailgate sponsored by Kathryn's parents, Laura's parents, Sherman's parents and mine! We took pictures of our families and all of the visitors we had- including our siblings, friends, Jenny from American in DC and Helen & Steve from our rival Iowa State! |
 |
| My family (minus Maria) after the closing committee banquet Sunday morning! Thanks again for visiting! |

Thanks to everyone who helped to make this year's Homecoming a fascinating experience and one that will certainly live on!
