Another great Alumni Weekend was held July 14-15 with many former students and their families in attendance. This annual event is open to all alumni and former students and their families who wish to attend. Saturday morning began with the registration and social time. Everyone then gathered in Fletcher Chapel for a presentation by OHA president Dr. Michael Groves. The students, faculty, and staff joined alumni for a brief memorial service to pay tribute to alumni who had passed during the previous year. The tolling of the campus bell and singing of the Alma Mater marked this occasion. The group then made their way to Noonkester Park for a picnic lunch and afternoon of fun and visiting. Food stations, games, and music highlighted the afternoon festivities. A new addition to the Alumni Weekend schedule was “The Hill on a Midsummer’s Night Fundraising Dinner.” Tickets for the event were $100 per person or a table of six for $500. A delicious buffet dinner and live music were enjoyed on the lawn at the Hough Dormitory Picnic Shelter. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday morning with a continental breakfast in the dining hall and worship service at Young’s Chapel Baptist Church. Our goal is to make this weekend the best it can possibly be for all OHA alumni and former students and their families. If you have never attended or if its been several years since you have been to an Alumni Weekend, please join your classmates and come celebrate with us July 13-14, 2019.
