Greetings!Can you feel it? The exhilarating feeling of fall! There is a chill in the air, a spring in the step, a football game each weekend and a squirrel to trip over as it chews on an acorn that has bounced off the hood of someone’s car in the Cerf Center Parking Lot. Homecoming is a week away, and we can’t wait to welcome you home to “Where the Magic Begins!” Eureka truly has had a magical effect on many of us. It’s the place you likely found your best friend, your significant other, your mentor, your passion for your life. So take the opportunity to come home and celebrate your alma mater. We can’t wait to see you!
