Before this afternoon's football game, Homecoming Weekend continued  with the Falcons Tailgate at the Wallace Civic Center parking lot. Fans and family alike geared up for the day’s games with their own tailgate cookout. If you stopped by President Hodge’s Tailgate Zone, you got one of President Hodge's, literally, branded Fitch-burgers. Afterward, the festivities moved to Elliot Field where the Falcons football team took on the Framingham State Rams. 

Yesterday afternoon, our homecoming celebration kicked off with a pep rally on the main quadrangle. The Fitchburg State University community gathered to cheer on the Falcons as they geared up for a weekend of athletic competition and school spirit.

With the help of our good friends at Fitchburg Access Television (FATV) including Executive Director Nathan Glenny, and Operations Manager Travis Falk, students in Professor Kevin McCarthy's Multi-Camera Television Production course got to see what it's like to set up a remote multi-camera production at Elliot Field. From set-up to break-down, teams of students got to operate the cameras, act as subjects, and see how to put the final production together in real time in the FATV remote production truck.

The Boston Bruins Fan Fest Tour stopped at our Wallace Civic Center today with Bruins -centric fun for all ages.

Our student athletes are on campus, and Head Football Coach Izzy Abraham is wasting no time at the onset of his second season here at Fitchburg State University. He, along with the rest of the Coaching Staff ran through plays on the quad after holding a  morning meeting in the Randall Lecture Hall. 

This morning, Women's Soccer Coach Jeb Booth devised a scavenger hunt race so that his players would get familiar with offices and departments on campus. Knowing where to go when you need help, or anything else, is often a hurdle, for college students. This race aids in overall student success.
