DAY ONE - Homecoming Week 2012

Good morning, Seawolves, and Happy Monday!

This week is going to be phenomenal. It's filled to bustin' with free food, comedy, the 19th A Cappella Festivella (can you believe that?!), pep rallies, hip hop with the Massive Monkees, the best dance of the year, UAA hockey and MORE.

In fact, for the first time in UAA history, you can attend the UAA Nations Cultural Extravaganza, a parade of the many cultures attending UAA, just a little window into how cosmopolitan Anchorage, Alaska truly is! This event takes place in the Student Union from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday. Watch for photos of this later today.

We don't want you to miss out on any of it. So watch this blog for a head's up on all that is happening each day of UAA's 2012 Homecoming Week.

We also have some awesome bloggers out there who will fill you in on their Homecoming experiences. Please welcome:

New, stepping up from the Concert Board:
  • Audriana Pleas
  • Tracy Stewart
  • Sofia Fouquet
Returning to the UAA blogosphere from their excellent tenure on the 2012 UAA Life Hacks blog are:
  • Theresa Cho
  • Alejandra Buitrago

And, last but never least, from the land of wistful fiction, comes Joe Selmont. As you may recall, he chronicled the ups and downs of Lamont and Emmy their first few weeks of school over there on the Life Hacks blog. It all culminated in a pretty sweet kiss, so what happens to the two amors with all the excitement of Homecoming Week?  You'll have to read this blog to find out!

OK, so what not to miss today, Monday, Oct. 8, Day 1 for Homecoming:
