This year marks a rebirth of a time-honored tradition for ASU as the entire university community unites to make Homecoming the university’s signature event. Not only are we welcoming alumni back home, we are engaging the entire university and our neigh- boring communities, including citizens, schools, businesses, friends and fans in this defining moment for ASU tradition. The entire week, Oct. 27-Nov. 1, will be filled with nostalgic activities highlighted with an inaugural block party and culminating with the game against Cal. Under the leadership of the ASU Alumni Association, and with the support of all university units, Homecoming FestDevil 2003 will showcase ASU, as well as the surrounding communities that help make up the ASU experience. This university’s success stems from the efforts of countless individuals – from those who hold or have had direct relationships with ASU to its tremendous population of supporters. I am sure you will find this year’s Homecoming experience rewarding, no matter what your affiliation, as we take this moment in time to celebrate our successes as the New American University.
