Fall Weekend is unique. Parents are everywhere, enthusiastic student-athletes take the field ag~inst rival teams while their peers pheer them on, and the tent dance provides a perfect ending to the eventful day. While the last remnants of summer warmth are quickly disappearing from the air, the sun will be shining at Harvestfest and the tent dance will be rocking. For many stu- dents, the weekend plays out like a roll-reversed "Take your Child to Work Day." Parents get to see how and where their children eat, sleep, study and socialize. In this way, Fall Weekend pro- vides families a once-a-year up close look at the lives of the Conn Students. The festivities, though, are about more than families. Alumni, too, are invited here, back to 'the place they once called home. While Shain, Fanning and Blaustein are still here, alumni will be experiencing a campus with a dramatically different landscape. Conn has a new president, a TV channel and a much-improved Old Plex. Inauguration signals a change at the top. From the bottom, it is clear that much has already changed. Fall Weekend this year will give alumni a win- dow into our new Conn world.
