Hey 'RooNation! We are so glad that you are joining us for Homecoming Weekend! With rain in the forecast, we wanted to be in touch with some information to help you make the most of your time on campus.

Kids' College (1 - 3 p.m.) will be indoors in the Wright Campus Center, Moseley Room.

Campus tours (12 p.m.) are on! The ’Roo Navigators will have ponchos and umbrellas available.

The Larry Kramer Outback opens at Noon. We ask that you wait until the rain and wind pass before setting up tents.

Football vs. Centenary will kick off at 3 p.m. unless there is a lightning delay. The P.A. announcer will notify attendees of any delay, and Austin College Campus Police will be present to direct attendees to safety.

All other events will proceed as planned. The Wright Campus Center will be open all day and is the perfect place to wait out the rain! The Kangaroo Coffee Company (located within Wright Campus Center) will begin service at 10 a.m.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

We celebrated our DAVA Award recipients and welcomed the Class of 1976 back to campus for their 50-year medallions to kick off Golden 'Roo Weekend. Congratulations to all!

This week, President Cantor kicked off her Meet the President Tour with a wonderful event in Dallas!

It was a great evening connecting with alumni and friends of Austin College and sharing what’s ahead for ’RooNation. Thank you to our hosts, Jenny King '92, Chris Thompson '92, and the Austin College Alumni Board.

Happy Fall Equinox! Every year, 'Roos gather to observe the fall equinox at the IDEA Center’s Oscar C. Page Atrium, the only solar observatory of its kind on a U.S. college campus.
The magic moment happens when a beam of sunlight passes through the gnomon hole in the roof, landing on the marker on the atrium floor. Thank you to Dr. David Baker for providing a historical and scientific overview during the event!
