Westmont Magazine Viva Homecoming

A festive fiesta theme added to the fun at the college’s annual Homecoming weekend Sept. 24-25, 2004.

During the Celebracion Brunch cón el Presidente on Saturday, Westmont honored four outstanding alums (left to right): Jay Pierson ’69, Alumnus of the Year; David MacCulloch ’84, Volunteer of the Year; Christopher Aubuchon ’94, Young Alumnus of the Year; and Carleeda Hutton ’54, Distinguished Service Award. President Stan Gaede (second from right) congratulated the recipients.

The brunch also featured a multimedia presentation on Westmont’s history, the announcement of class gifts and a talk by President Gaede.

Throughout the weekend, alumni had opportunities to revisit old haunts by going to chapel, eating in the dining commons, checking out Clark and Page residence halls and taking a campus history tour.

At a “Class without a Quiz,” Jay Pierson ’69, Republican floor assistant to the speaker of the House of Representatives and political science professor Dave Lawrence discussed the presidential election.

The men’s soccer team entertained alumni fans by beating Hope International University 5-0.

Other activities included a praise and worship service, academic reunions and a town hall meeting about the updated master plan.
