It’s time for you to come home to TU for our 100th Anniversary Homecoming Celebration. We’ll have more than just streetlights illuminating the night sky. We’re talking a bonfire, fireworks display p. 12 Homecoming p. 26 College News p. 28 College News and, of course, the glowing lights of H.A. Chapman Stadium.
For more information, call (918) 631-2555, or visit www.utulsa.edu/alumni/homecoming. Registration material attached. Register today. s s s The underlying theme of every TU homecoming celebration is “Come Home to TU” so that you may reconnect with friends, relive fond memories and engage with your alma mater. However, for today’s TU scholars – and future generations ahead – “coming home” will take on new meaning as the University continues its dramatic transformation into a vibrant residential community. More students than ever will be living on campus following the August opening of nearly 400 new apartments, which will double the amount of market-quality housing available at TU. These new student apartments are arranged into three campus “villages” – Brown Village along Harvard Avenue near Keplinger Hall; and Mayo Village and Lorton Village, both located along 11th Street adjacent to TU’s new south entrance. As a result of this expansion, nearly 82 percent of freshmen will reside on campus this year, a dramatic change from the experience many of you recall from your TU days. The addition of these 18 new apartment buildings probably has been among the most visible statements of TU’s changing landscape, but they certainly are not the only construction activity on campus. Other important physical improvements at TU include: • The recent completion of Collins Hall, which incorporates key student and alumni services perspective president’s under one roof; • The newly opened Case Athletics Complex – the new home of TU football and the academic support center for all student athletes; • The launch of the McFarlin Library expansion to consolidate technology resources into one area upon its completion in 2008; • The south entrance project, also to be completed in 2008, which will create a grand “front october 11-13
door” to campus for the first time in school history (see page 11); s s s • The renovation of H.A. Chapman Stadium following the 2007 football season to add impressive amenities and improvements such as a new video scoreboard, loge and club seating, and a three-story skybox with private suites (see page 29); and • The expansion of wireless Internet infrastructure to cover the entire campus, making TU the Homecoming first university in Oklahoma to provide a totally wireless experience (see page 24). This physical renaissance is driven by TU’s strategic plan to attract and retain the nation’s top students by advancing our standing among the nation’s top universities. Initiatives to support this long-range plan have fallen into several key areas, including: developing a residential campus, strengthening academic programs, enhancing students’ campus experience, defining campus boundaries, consolidating key student and alumni services, bolstering academic and research support, and engaging the City of Tulsa. TU students are benefiting from this progress not only while they are on campus, but also following their graduation as they see the value of their degrees grow with the University’s reputation. TU’s advancements also serve as a catalyst to growth and development in Tulsa and the surrounding region. Major construction and renovation projects in Tulsa include the new Jazz Hall of Fame, the remodeled Tulsa Air and Space Museum, enhancements along historic Route 66 and the construction of the $180 million BOK Center downtown that will serve as one of the premier facilities of its kind in the region. Our Homecoming celebration, to be held October 11-13, honors the 100th anniversary of the partnership between TU and our namesake city. For this special edition of the alumni magazine, we polled many members of the TU family to develop a list of their 100 favorite reasons to return to TU and Tulsa. As you peruse this list, I trust you’ll find many reasons that will entice you to come home to TU so that you may experience for yourself the new vitality so evident across our campus and the community we proudly call home. I look forward to seeing you all in October! schedule of events Warmest regards, 2007 Steadman Upham President Your Guide to the What, Where and When Official Registration Form enclosed.
