Under
crisp
fall
sunshine,
BW
students,
families,
alumni,
faculty,
staff,
neighbors
and
friends
celebrated
Yellow
Jacket
pride
and
community
at
the
annual
Bold
&
Gold
Festival.
The
event
combines
the
traditions
of
Homecoming,
Community
Day
and
Family
Day
into
a
multi-day
celebration,
led
by
BW
Alumni
Relations
and
the
Student
Life/Sophomore
Class
Officers.
A
Thursday
pep
rally
and
Friday
night
concert
set
the
stage
for
a
full
day
of
activities
on
Saturday,
October
5,
including
affinity
group
reunions,
a
parade,
the
crowning
of
Homecoming
royalty,
entertainment
and
a
cookout
on
North
Quad.
In
the
midst
of
the
festivities,
BW
also
broke
ground
and
honored
the
generous
donors
that
are
supporting
construction
of
the
new
Austin
E.
Knowlton
Center,
a
hub
for
STEM
education
fueled
by
major
Knowlton
Foundation
funding.
With a win on the gridiron capping off the day, BW's Bold & Gold celebration soared in 2019.
