The annual bonfire and chili cookoff, Alumni Awards and Wright Day to Give highlighted Wright State University’s packed Homecoming Week.
The celebration began with the Homecoming Kickoff Party on Sept. 27 and concluded with the Sapphire Jubilee and a men’s soccer game on Oct. 2.
“Seeing people out here is fantastic,” said Jonathan Ciero, senior mechanical engineering major and Student Government Association president. “Being able to interact with everybody is the important part.”
