Student Newspaper The Volume 118 Edition 1 Prospector September 27, 2018 Homecoming fun for the whole family

Cheyenne Nicholson Staff Writer

arroll students, families and alumni converged on campus last weekend, Friday, Sept. 21 through Sunday, Sept. 23, for Chomecoming, athletics and family week- end events. Every year, parents have the opportu- nity to travel to Helena and see what the Carroll College community has to offer to their children. For students, it is a time to show their parents around campus, en- joy various events, and explore Helena. To help kick off 2018’s homecoming weekend, Carroll Student Activities arranged for comedian Chris James to come to campus Friday evening. Mad- ison Fernandez, a junior from Newport Beach, California majoring in communi- cations and public relations talked about the event.
