KSU in Black & White: Forty Years of The Sentinel

 

October 2006 The Sentinel turned 40 and KSU Student Media, in collaboration with University Archives and the KSU Alumni Association, held a celebration and newspaper homecoming.

Homecoming 2006 was scheduled for the weekend starting Thursday, October 26 through Sunday, October 29, 2006.

The Sentinel Reunion activities all took place on Saturday, Oct. 28. The celebration for KSU's newspaper's 40th birthday began with the Alumni Brunch at 10:30AM in the new Convocation Center followed by a reception for Sentinel alumni upstairs in the Hospitality Suite.

The Sentinel's Time Capsule ceremony was at the paper's office, student center 277 at 5:30 p.m. and Dinner for past & present newspaper staff will be at the Alumni House at 6:30 p.m. Click here to see the items included.

Soon we'll post photographs from the celebration - check back often for updates. If you are interested in attending future reunions, complete a Sentinel Alumni Information Update Form (Editor's Notes).
