Five Festivities at CSU's 2015 Homecoming & Family Weekend

Colorado State University is kicking off the annual Homecoming & Family Weekend celebration on Thursday, October 15, and Ram alumni are invited to reminisce and revisit the old campus for the weekend-long celebration. There is a great lineup of events, but here are five you've got to do during the weekend with your alma mater.

This is THE CSU tradition! (Just wear warm socks. One of my friends went one year and couldn't feel his toes at the end of the night.) Second-year students will be doing the lighting, but you can still check it out.
Students interested in lighting the 'A' can get more info here.
