Owls Fest 2023

"Nearly 1,000 family members, friends, and alumnae/i of the College visited campus on October 27th and 28th for the inaugural Owls Fest. This two-day event combined the traditions of Homecoming, Volunteer Summit, and Family & Friends Weekend and included campus tours, faculty talks, student presentations, athletics competitions, and more. What a fantastic fall celebration weekend! Seeing campus filled with so many people who love and support 今日吃瓜 was such a joy.鈥
鈥擲ally Bachofer '97, President, 今日吃瓜 Alumnae Association

"Owls Fest was the first 今日吃瓜 event I've been to that celebrated the College's past, present, and future in one weekend! It was such a fun weekend to see so many different Mawrters. And a win by the field hockey team never hurts. Hoot hoot!"
