Rev Up for Homecoming 2008
Saturday, October 18, 2008
A recent trip to Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s headquarters in Milwaukee to visit Outstanding Young Alumni Award recipient Laura Denissen Scherr, ’99, marketing project manager, helped inspire a Harley-Davidson based theme for this year’s Homecoming on Saturday, October 18.
Several UW Oshkosh alumni are employed by Harley-Davidson and many others are HD owners and enthusiasts. Read about one of those enthusiasts, Pete Johnson, ’89 and ’93 MBA, here.
All Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners and enthusiasts are invited to ride in the Homecoming parade or come watch. Of course, all other makes, models, and two-wheelers are welcome including scooters and bicycles.
In true style, this year’s Tent City pre-game celebration will feature plenty of hog, barbequed pork, that is. A chili cook-off featuring UW Oshkosh administration is also in the works. Live music will be provided by The Bakers, led by 2002 UW Oshkosh graduate Brandon Heise.
Contact your UW Oshkosh friends now and make plans to reunite at this year’s event. If you’d like to be involved, please email alumni@uwosh.edu.
