M.G.C.C.C. Celebrates Homecoming 2014
“Homecoming places a spotlight on our alumni – from those being honored in the Athletic and Alumni Hall of Fame to those who visit and enjoy our annual reunion,” said Dr. Mary S. Graham, M.G.C.C.C. President. “It is also an opportunity to see our current students in action as the Bulldog football team, cheerleaders, Band of Gold, Perkettes and the Homecoming courts from each campus participate in the day’s events. Most importantly, it is a time when our M.G.C.C.C. family –our alumni, students, and employees– can visit with each other and be reminded what an incredible institution we have and what a positive impact it makes in our communities.”
During the halftime show, the maids and queens for each of the three main campuses were announced.
