Homecoming quilt

Homecoming came to an end last week but it doesn't mean the "coming home feeling" has to end. Reporter Jannette Hoerner and Photographer Dariga Massenova found a way for someone to take a piece of Homecoming with them.


Tickets sales last up through November 14th and can be purchased at the Alumni office, home and away griz football tailgates, other event locations or by calling 243-5211. The proceeds go back to the Alumni Association to pay for Homecoming events and activities. Prices for tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff

Alumni and friends flooded back to campus for Homecoming. One UM graduate came all the way from the White House. UM News photographer Carmen Ebert and reporter Katrina Heser met up with President Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina and talked about issues facing college students. Messina graduated from the University of Montana in 1993 and says he hopes to return to Treasure State when his time at the White House is done.
