Rochester Volleyball Set To Celebrate 40 Years This Fall

Rochester Volleyball Set To Celebrate 40 Years This Fall

From University of Rochester Athletics

After playing its 40th season as an intercollegiate sport at the University of Rochester last year, the Rochester volleyball program will be hosting a Celebration of Four Decades of Rochester Volleyball this year on October 10th, 2015 as a part of the University's Meliora Weekend festivities.
 
Rochester volleyball invites all its alumnae back to campus with a special invitation extended to those who graduated in the zeroes and fives years of 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015.
 
UR will host a volleyball alumni game at 11 am in the Goergen Athletic Center on October 8th and then will have a reception at 4 pm for all those in attendance.  This free, informal, and fun event will be a chance to catch up with past teammates, meet fellow alums and share memories and keepsakes from their playing days at Rochester.
 
Alums are encouraged to contact Head Coach Ladi Iya or Associate Athletic Director Terry Gurnett if they will be in attendance for this one of a kind Rochester volleyball event!  Also, please be sure to update your alumni information at the following link to keep in touch with the Yellowjackets volleyball family! http://tinyurl.com/urvbalumniquestionnaire
 
Attendees also should register for the University of Rochester's complete Meliora Weekend festivities at https://www.rochester.edu/melioraweekend where you will find schedules, updates, event details and RSVP lists among other information.
 
Head coach Ladi Iya says of the event "I am particularly excited to meet many of our alums and provide our current players with the opportunity to meet and network with the strong women who forged the path for today's student athletes."
 
Fans of Yellowjacket volleyball are also invited to follow UR on Twitter (UR_Volleyball) and like the team's Facebook page; and look for a special page dedicated to the Yellowjacket volleyball reunion event!
 
We hope to see you here for this special affair in October!
