Yes, it\u2019s that time of year again. If the cool breeze, fall trees, and midterm stress weren\u2019t giveaways, Homecoming is right around the corner. Admittedly, I\u2019m often one of the last to hear about homecoming events, but with Halloween preparations, increasing academic demands, and numerous club activities all coinciding during this busy period, it\u2019s understandable.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t heard, this year, FSU has chosen \u201cLegacy in Every Frame\u201d<\/a> as the Homecoming theme. This theme reflects the university\u2019s commitment to celebrating its rich traditions, fostering connections across generations, and honoring the accomplishments of its alumni.
