EMU Alumni Ted Swartz & Trent Wagler
Come see Ted & Trent onstage for an eclectic evening of humor and music in Lehman Auditorium Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.
Those who have heard Trent Wagler know he sings and plays guitar really well; but do you know he can also act? Those who have seen Ted Swartz know he acts really well; but did you know he sings…well, he acts really well!
All-Time Oakwood Reunion
The (in)famous Oakwood residence hall, scheduled for demolition
in August 2008, will nonetheless live on in the hearts and minds
of its many former residents. All men who once lived in this aromatic, stylish, and
revered hall are invited to come together to pay tribute to the place
where they once lived, and help keep the institutional memory of our
beloved Oakwood strong.
There’s sure to be lots of storytelling, tall tales, special guests commemorating the dorm and the activities of its residents over the years, and light refreshments.
WeatherVane Reunion
All alumni who were once a part of the WeatherVane staff are welcome
to attend a reception hosted by the language and literature department.
Former editors will reminisce about their experiences
on EMU’s student newspaper. If you were a former editor and want to share your memories at
this event, please contact Kirsten Beachy at
or Vi Dutcher at .
