Alumni home for Homecoming
By Laura Quayle | October 24, 2003Homecoming weekend brings alumni of all ages back to their Hanover "home" to see old friends, dorms and fraternities, as well as to spend time with current students. "Just as you would go home for Thanksgiving," Director of Alumni Relations Nelson Armstrong said, "Homecoming is an opportunity for alumni to come home and be part of a great ceremony." Armstrong said that while the exact number of returning alumni is unknown, there will be about 10,000 people on the Green on Friday night, and "a significant part will be alumni." He said he believes most alumni are drawn back to campus by the "pure sense of the spirit of dear old Dartmouth."

The system, which will function on both the wired and wireless networks on campus, is made possible by "voice over internet protocol," or VoIP.
