The College of Optometry’s Homecoming Weekend was once again the perfect excuse to reunite with friends! On Friday, October 3, classes that graduated in years ending in 0 or 5 celebrated milestone reunions at gatherings throughout Columbus. The next day at the traditional All College tailgate, which was held at Ohio State’s Fawcett Center prior to the October 4 Buckeyes victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Brutus made a special appearance!
