The Miner Alumni Association honored a select group of alumni during Homecoming for their accomplishments and their devotion to the association, the campus and its students.
Guests dined family-style and visited during Legends Lunch. 
Student improv group members Joseph Styczynski and Sabrina Cavender introduced the awardees during “Miners and Friends,” a mock morning show. 
Just like “Today” show fans line up outside NBC’s Rockerfeller Square studio, fans of “Miners and Friends” lined up outside the Hasselmann Alumni House “studio” to catch a glimpse of the show.
