A former NWOSU speech and theatre major penned the winning theme idea for the fall Homecoming festivities, Oct. 3-5.

Patrick Wilson, originally from Aubrey, Texas, submitted the theme “Ranger Expedition:2024,” which was selected by the homecoming committee. He received $25 worth of Alva Chamber Bucks as a prize.

Alumni Kenneth and Sue Fellers will be leading the parade. Kenneth Fellers graduated with a math and physics degree in 1963, and his wife graduated with a music degree in 1964.

The Fellers now farm near Burlington. The couple has funded scholarships on campus and are sponsoring upcoming renovations to the Herod Hall auditorium.
