Homecoming 2018<\/h1>\n

MMA will recognize its first 75-year alumni classes, 1943-1 and 1943-2, during Homecoming festivities September 28-30, 2018.<\/p>\n

Leading up to an event-filled weekend, MMA students will be celebrating an inaugural Spirit Week, participating in special events and class competitions throughout, culminating with a spirit bonfire.<\/p>\n

The Regiment of Midshipmen invite all alumni to attend Morning Formation at 7:20 a.m., Friday at the academy flagpole. Following dismissal from quarters, alumni are welcome to attend select morning classes. The Alumni Golf Classic has a shotgun start at 1 p.m., and evening events include the MMA Hall of Fame induction banquet, an Alumni Reception, dinner with classmates, a Presidential Welcome, Alumni Association awards, and entertainment. Student Life will host a Casino Night for alumni, students, family and friends following meals.<\/p>\n

Of note will be two showings of The Lucky Few, a U.S. Navy documentary based on the fall of Saigon, the USS Kirk, her crew, and CDR Paul Jacobs \u201958 who are credited with rescuing thousands of Vietnamese. The 8 p.m. showing in the BIW Humanities Lecture Hall is reserved for the Class of 1958 and dignitaries, with the second viewing open to all at 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, festivities include a Fun Run, harbor tours, demonstrations, the annual Alumni Association meeting, food, merchandise tents, games, inflatables, football and soccer.<\/p>\n

Following the traditional March On, Honor Classes have reserved tents on Alumni Alley (Pleasant Street) where they may gather during the game and afternoon activities. Other classes or groups are welcome to reserve a tailgate area with MMA Conferences.<\/p>\n

Guests are invited to the Alfond Student Center Saturday evening to dine in the newly renovated dining hall (pay at the door). Following football, MMA women\u2019s and men\u2019s soccer teams play at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. against Northern Vermont, Lyndon.<\/p>\n
