One of Emporia State University’s most active alumni chapters, the Emporia Connection, expects more than 100 alumni to attend a reunion this weekend in Emporia.
The Emporia Connection, an African-American alumni chapter, has distinguished itself through well-attended reunion events and a scholarship for ESU students. In 2006, about 50 alumni gathered in Atlanta, Ga. , and in 2005, the group established the Emporia Connection Legacy Scholarship to assist African-American students at Emporia State University .
The weekend kicks off with a meet-and-greet from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday at the Sauder Alumni Center . The group will attend the ESU Track and Field Relays at 11 a.m. Saturday at Welch Stadium, and then gather for the Emporia Connection Scholarship Banquet at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union’s Webb Lecture Hall. A short program will follow the dinner. On Sunday morning, a bon voyage breakfast with live entertainment from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Memorial Union’s Skyline Room will conclude the weekend’s events.
