Nearly 3,500 alumni and family members visited campus in October to celebrate Homecoming weekend. Alumni and guests visited with old friends; attended faculty lectures, student performances, and Duke sporting events; and toured new buildings that have sprouted since they graduated. The Half-Century Club Weekend, aimed at alumni who graduated at least fifty years ago, topped attendance records at 150. The annual President's Dance on Saturday night featured a dance band in addition to several student performance groups and attracted nearly 3,000 alumni and students.
