CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - It was a good Homecoming for Campbellsville University as alumni returned (including special reunions for the classes of 1953 and 1963), the CU Fighting Tigers won the football game 23 to 6, Ronnie Hord and Pat Cave Webster were honored as Distinguished Alumnus and Alumna, the parade brought many people to downtown Campbellsville and on campus and Mary Kate Young was crowned Homecoming queen.



Homecoming weekend, "there's NO place like homecoming," kicked off with a reception for the 1953 class on October 3, 2013, a special convocation for the class of 1963 on October 4, 2013 and all kinds of activities on October 5.

Ronnie Hord wins Distinguised Alumna award

Ronnie Hord, a 1967 alumnus, was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award, and Pat Cave Webster, a 1958 and 1960 alumna, won the Distinguished Alumna Award. Both are from Campbellsville. Dr. Michael V. Carter, president; Benji Kelly, vice president for development, and Paula Smith, director of alumni relations, presented the awards at a Homecoming reception.

Carter said, "Homecoming 2013 has been a great time for Campbellsville University as we welcomed back alumni and friends from across the nation.

"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."

Mary Kate Young crowned homecoming queen

Mary Kate Young of Paris, KY, representing Stapp Hall, was crowned queen. Second runner-up was Audrey Wunderlich of Frankfort, KY, representing Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), and third runner-up was Erin Clarkson of Leesburg, Ohio, representing Kentucky Association of Nursing Students (KANS). The freshman attendant was Brittany Salmon of Campbellsville.
