Ohio University Libraries staff was pleased to have many returning alumni visit the annual Homecoming Week display with historic materials from the Libraries’ Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections. The display took place on Alden Library’s fourth floor with archival materials such as yearbooks, photographs, scrapbooks and much more.

The beloved button-making station took place outside of Alden’s fourth floor near the Wolfe Garden. Participants were able to create their own souvenir button out of upcycled yearbooks and magazines to remember the weekend. Both activities are meant to bring past and present students together and back to the Libraries through some classic OHIO school spirit.
