COE Alumni Tailgate
Before the 3 p.m. kickoff against South Alabama, the College of Education is hosting an alumni tailgate from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. to welcome all COE alums back to campus to enjoy some food, fun and fellowship.
The tailgate will take place outside the COE buildings in the courtyard facing the fountain. Free food, giveaways, music, bounce houses and games will all be provided for our alumni and their families. Alums are encouraged to park their cars in Lot 42 near the College of Education building for easy access to the tailgate and a short walk to catch the game-day shuttle to Paulson Stadium. The shuttle service will begin at 12:30 p.m. and continue to run an hour after the conclusion of the game.
“We hope our alumni will utilize this opportunity to reunite with their former classmates and faculty on behalf of the College,” said Koballa. “We plan to have a great event complete with traditional tailgate cuisine, games and even some giveaways and raffle items.”
Attendees are asked to RSVP for this free event so that the College can adequately provide food and fun for all. To RSVP, visit: http://attend.com/COEAlumniTailgate
