Golden Graduates Society Dinner at 5:00 p.m.

50-year graduates will be honored on campus during a dinner hosted by President David Olive.

BC Theatre Department Presents Big River at 7:30 p.m.

Big River is the Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of Mark Twain's beloved novel Huckleberry Finn. Huck and run-away slave Jim set out on an epic adventure down the Mississippi river to find their own brand of freedom. Along the way they meet a host of colorful rogues and scoundrels, but in the end Huck and Jim find their freedom through friendship and mutual respect. Big River is a rollicking good time with music by popular country music songwriter, Roger Miller.

Student Dance

Attention graduates from the past four years! The work world may have you down, your friends are at the College, and you wish you were, too. You have an open invitation to both dances! So have one night reliving your time in college, and then drop by and connect with other alumni.

Alumni Association Meeting/Breakfast opens at 8:30 a.m.

Come and enjoy breakfast in the dining hall at the College featuring a made-to-order omelet station and waffles. Take the morning to reminisce with old classmates, meet families, and enjoy the tapestry that connects us all, Bluefield College. We will also be holding our annual Alumni Association meeting where a report on the previous year will be given, new officers elected, and your voice can be heard.

Live Scholarship Auction and Late Risers' Breakfast at 9:30 a.m.

A live auctioneer makes this auction just as good as a comedy routine with funds being raised for the BC Fund for Scholarships. Trips and weekend get-a-ways, electronics, artwork, jewelry, memorabilia, home décor items, and dining gift certificates are just a few of the items that we have on an annual basis. Coffee and doughnuts are provided by President David Olive for the late risers!

Football Tailgating opens at 11:00 a.m.

The tailgating zone opens at 11:00 a.m., and alumni and friends are welcome to bring food, drinks, corn-hole boards, ladder-ball, and anything else to enjoy a tailgate before the first intercollegiate homecoming foootball game for Bluefield College since 1941. Bring your corn-hole partner for the annual corn-hole tournament. Don't have space for all those items on the way in? No worries! You can purchase a box lunch in the tailgating zone.
