Celebrating 150 Years of Sports and Dedication of the Robert B. Goergen Athletic Center

Deford	de Varona
Gowdy	Rawlings

Since the late 1880's, athletics have played an important part in the lives of thousands of undergraduates and in the life of the University of Rochester. In order to show its appreciation fo the hard work and dedication that the athletes exuded over their college careers, the University is honoring ALL athletes at the dedication ceremony of the newly renovated Goergen Athletic Center. The alumni will also be special guests at the sports symposium featuring:

• Frank DeFord, Senior writer and commentator, Sports Illustrated
• Donna de Varona, President of the Women's World Cup
• Curt Gowdy, long-time sports announcer
• John Rawlings, Senior Editor, The Sporting News

We would like to see every former athlete from every sport that was played at the University come back to celebrate the University's 150^th birthday. There will be an "Olympics opening ceremony" procession of ALL current and former athletes before the start of the symposium. Don't miss out on meeting up with your old teammates and reminiscing about the "Glory Days."
