Rev Up for Homecoming 2008 
Saturday, October 18, 2008
Last fall, a 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.
The UW Oshkosh campus has its share of motorcycle enthusiasts, too. Read about two nursing professors, Sharon Chappy and Suzanne Marnocha, who enjoy the open road 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.
Own a convertible? Show it off by driving parade dignitaries in the Homecoming parade! Sign up here.
