"The current students benefit tremendously from interacting and visiting with alumni, and I always hear the common theme of how CU has helped thousands to find their calling. We are grateful to our faithful alumni and friends who support CU in so many ways." Smith said, "This was one of the best Homecomings ever! The theme "there's NO place like homecoming!" brought alumni and friends together. What a great day in the life of CU!" The theme played on the 75th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz."
