Visit our table at the Centennial Homecoming Tent City event Oct. 29

Be sure to stop by the JMC table inside the College of Business tent during the Centennial Homecoming Celebration at Tent City on Saturday, Oct. 29.

The JMC department will have a table to welcome alumni. Two of our student groups also plan to have tables.

The Ads Club will have a fundraiser in which people can buy chances on a basket filled with gifts from local merchants.

The Public Relations Student Society of America has teamed with Subway of Murray to sponsor a table in the College of Business tent at this year’s Centennial Homecoming celebration. PRSSA will sell chances on a six-foot party sub of the winner’s choice from Subway. Restaurant staff will be on hand to give away coupons and jumbo cookies.
