This year’s homecoming celebrations are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 29 through Saturday Oct. 1. The homecoming committee is now taking suggestions for the theme. The deadline to submitt a theme suggestion is Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 4 p.m.
The 2015 theme was “Ranger Nation: Ride of Fame”. The first place campus float was the Aggie Club.
Suggestions for this year’s theme must be 10 words or fewer and should be something that can be illustrated through designs for floats, as well as dorm and campus building decorations.
The person with the winning submission will receive $25 in Alva Area Chamber of Commerce Chamber Bucks.

“Each year the homecoming committee looks forward to receiving creative, catchy ideas from Ranger alumni and friends,” said Dr. David Pecha, chair of the homecoming committee and vice president of administration. “We are excited to see what will happen for this homecoming.”
