The campus community came together at the University of Missouri–St. Louis last week to celebrate Homecoming 2018 while showcasing all its creativity, generosity, spirit and fun.
UMSL Daily is reliving it all with a snapshot of the pictures captured by UMSL photographer August Jennewein throughout the week’s festivities.
Campus organizations such as (from bottom to top) Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, Campus Recreation, KHAOS, UMSL’s K-Pop Dance Group, Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and the University Program Board entered in the annual CANstruction event on Thursday, building elaborate designs with nonperishable items donated to the Beyond Housing Pagedale Family Support Center.
UMSL colors were central to the entry from Alpha Xi Delta sorority.
Faculty, staff and students gathered Thursday in the Century Rooms of the Millennium Student Center and indulged in the annual Chili Feed. The event raised $1,139 to benefit the Pagedale Family Support Center.
