HOMECOMING Homecoming weekend is always a great time for both students and alumni. On Friday afternoon, engineering students climbed into their hand-crafted cardboard canoes and raced across the lake. Students and visitors gathered around to watch the race and cheer on their friends. Some even hoped that the canoes would capsize so they could watch the engineering students sink into the murky waters of Cedar Lake. The engineering students hoped otherwise. As freshman Brendan McGillick patiently waited for his group to go, he said, "It better float." Unfortunately for his team, not all boats reach shore.On Saturday morning,Homecoming continued as students, children, and alumni lined the streets of Cedarville, eager to watch the parade and take part in the annual celebration, which continued with CU by the Lake. Many orgs set up tables around the lake and sold products for their fundraisers. Other homecoming activities continued throughout the night where over 600 alumni reconnected with their beloved campus. 1.
