Dear Colleagues,You are invited to participate on Friday, Sept. 27, when Humboldt State holds a “Throwback Parade” as part of Homecoming & Family Weekend. This will be another fun way to celebrate our Centennial Year.Campus groups can walk in the parade, sign up to decorate a limited number of parade floats, or watch along the parade route. The parade begins at 4:15 p.m. near the Events Field and tours around the Arcata Plaza. It concludes in the G11 Lot with a barbecue at 5:30 p.m. followed by a Pep Rally at 7 p.m.I have asked campus supervisors to work with staff to allow them, if practical, to leave the office by 4 p.m. to participate. In some cases, this will not be possible, but we will be as flexible as we can.Note that we are not canceling classes for this activity. For information on participating in the parade, as well as entry forms and the parade route, visit www.humboldt.edu/homecoming/parade - Rollin Richmond, President
