No place is dearer than home and such was the spirit depicted by the Lakeland College community and its alumni during the recently concluded Homecoming 2003. There was more fun, and most participants revealed a sense of commonality this year.
The event, which ran from Monday, October 12 through Saturday, October 18, 2003, was attended by alumni from classes dating as far back as 1944 as well as newly-graduated students, current students, and faculty members.
In the evening of the first day, various organizations created and displayed their banners in the college pub. LC CAB President Nick Hovde said, "We thought that it was a little easier to clean up using banners than painting windows as it was last year." This day's participants played games and enjoyed a late night breakfast in the cafeteria as well.
On Wednesday October 15, men were auctioned for day-long dates during the Black Student Union (BSU) organized function. "The function usually takes place in the College Pub, but the venue changed to the spacious Bossard Hall instead," so said Kyana Crawford, a board member.
Thursday October 16, 2003, Old MacDonald Day, was different from last year's. "The Bradley Hall was fully packed for Mr. Muskie; last year, only a few attended," Hovde happily said. Ryan Holm, a freshman, won the Mr. Muskie contest with his "nice butt" and killer Chris Farley impression. The menagerie was sponsored by the Dance Team.
Lakeland's diversity and enthusiasm was seen on Friday, Spirit Day as International students busied themselves with their native food preparations in Bossard, Krueger, and Grosshuesch after classes. At about 6:30, they marched in Lakeland's parade with an array of national flags from Krueger Hall to the Campus Center. The night also included a pep rally and large fireworks display.
After fireworks, participants convened in the Campus Center to try some Japanese, Malawian, Jamaican, Taiwanese, Russian, Ukrainian, Korean, Vietnamese, and Peruvian cuisine, courtesy of Global Students Association. The Sheboygan Hmong Community also volunteered and brought in a dish.
