Hey Maroons! Hope everyone had a wonderful fall break. Speaking of the Autumnal season, it is rearing close to more activities here on campus. Specifically, the History Department here at Roanoke College is hosting their annual \u2018History Homecoming Dress Up\u201d Day! This is a time where you can dress up in costumes from the 18<\/span>th<\/span> century through the 1980s and even participate in the costume photo contest. This event will take place Tuesday, November 19<\/span>th<\/span>. If you are interested but do not know where to get a costume, the Living History Lab has an open costuming day in the Bank Building on the Second Floor on November 7<\/span>th<\/span> from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you are unavailable to come during that time, you can make a one-on-one appointment with the Living History Lab Staff by emailing Dr. Mary Henold at <\/span>henold@roanoke.edu<\/span><\/a> or follow @rchistory on Instagram for more updates!\u00a0Everyone on campus is invited to participate, you do not need to be a history major to join.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I had the honor of interviewing a participant from last year, Haley Kuehn. Here is what she has said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, my favorite part is seeing everyone in costume. It\u2019s such a niche thing we do as a community and seeing people enjoying themselves wearing silly period outfits throughout the day makes me smile. History Homecoming is the Historical Society\u2019s biggest event of the semester. It’s more than just dressing up by day and karaoke by night, it\u2019s an event celebrating not only the past, but each other. My experience with History Homecoming is brief since this is only my second year participating. It\u2019s such a great time! In the evening, after everyone’s changed, we have a procession to Clio, the Greek Muse of History, then gather at the Bank Building for karaoke and a costume contest! People should go because it’s\u2026a great way to make friends and meet people who have similar interests in History! Not only are students who go, but professors in the History Department join in the fun\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n And that\u2019s that folks! Hope to see y\u2019all there!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Sabrina Rogers Hey Maroons! Hope everyone had a wonderful fall break.
