KC Alumni & Friends Welcome to Knoxville College Homecoming 2016. Homecoming is a celebratory occasion. It is our intent that this weekend will be defined by a kaleidoscope of fun filled activities, happy memories, supportive friendships and renewed commitment to our alma mater.
Homecoming is time for recollections and reflections of bygone years. Knoxville College “is the mother lode of memories. It’s the imprint and paradigm because that is where our roots are; and, that’s the real connection. Where we went to (college), that’s home, the site of our coming of age and where adult life started.” ~Edward Beardshear~
Alumni return for homecoming because KC is where our models, frameworks, and philosophies in life took root. During our days of matriculation and in subsequent years, all the branches have sprung from it. It’s the hub of all connections. We gather again to strengthen relationships; cherish shared memories; and, plan for the important work ahead.
The 2016 Homecoming Commitment Conference provides a forum to talk to you about the State of the College and to discuss the important issues that face us. Our commitment has to remain a priority. It takes the proverbial village to get this work done. Knoxville College needs you now, your spiritual and financial support. Welcome back to the village.
