Five to be Honored at 91st LWC Homecoming Weekend

Three alumni and two longtime friends will be honored during Lindsey Wilson College's 91st homecoming celebration, September 21-25, 2022. The awards luncheon will be held at 11amCT on Saturday, September 24 in the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center, 430 Helen Flatt Drive, Columbia, KY.

The event-packed weekend dubbed "Wildly Blue" will also feature several reunions and events, including a reunion of the Bonner Scholars program; a reunion for current and former members of the LWC swimming program; an LWC Singers reunion and performance; the inaugural Brady Conrad Button Memorial Golf Scramble; and a 5K run/walk for LWC alumni and friends.

LWC Director of Alumni Relations Lafawn Nettles says this will be the first in-person homecoming celebration since 2019.

"For two years, the pandemic forced us to cancel so many of the LWC traditions that we hold dear," says Nettles, who has served as LWC alumni director since 2020. "There is no better way to resume normal life than to come home and spend time with friends. We are excited to be in the same room again with our LWC family and have a wonderful weekend."


At the Alumni Awards Celebration on Saturday, September 24, in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center, the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni Association will honor five individuals:
  • Stanley Curry '84 of Campbellsville, Kentucky, will receive the Distinguished Alumnus Award

  • Duane Bonifer of Monmouth, Illinois, will receive the Honorary Alumnus Award

  • Betty Jean Moseley of Bowling Green, Kentucky, will receive the Honorary Alumna Award.

"We are planning a spectacular homecoming for 2022," says LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "The one positive that has come out of this pandemic is a greater appreciation for the smaller things in life. The members of the LWC campus community are looking forward to your return and interacting with you in-person while you reflect on your time at LWC."

The weekend of celebrations kicks off at 7pmCT, on Thursday, September 22, with the Homecoming Kickoff Fireworks and Pep Rally.

All current and former LWC faculty and staff are invited back to campus at 11amCT, on Friday, September 23 for the 6th-annual faculty and staff reunion picnic on the campus quadrangle.
