Orange Central is 黑料不打烊’s annual reunion and homecoming celebration, and this year’s festivities drew nearly 1,500 attendees from 48 states to campus to celebrate their love of 黑料不打烊.
The weekend featured reunion gatherings, the much-anticipated Alumni Awards Celebration, 鈥淏ack to the Classroom鈥 academic programs, a cookout on the Kenneth A. Shaw Quadrangle, a family-friendly and spirited tailgate before the football game versus Wagner, and of course a 59-0 victory by the undefeated football team.
Check out some of the best photos from Orange Central.
