All the departments in the School of Agriculture are joining forces to host a single reunion event, Ag Tailgate 2000 on Saturday, September 23 in conjunction with Purdue's Homecoming game. The event will be held at the W. H. Daniel Turfgrass Research and Diagnostic Center, within walking distance of Ross-Ade Stadium. Shuttle buses will also be running to the game.
After the game, the Agronomy Department will be hosting a reception for all alumni and friends of the department in the classroom at the Daniel Turfgrass Center. There will be plenty of post-game food and a short program will showcase some new department awards.
All alumni will be receiving ticket order information in July. For more information, e-mail the Ag Alumni office at dcl@agad.purdue.edu or phone 765-494-8593.
