Dear Colonels: We are preparing for the 2017 Homecoming & Reunion festivities. Part of these preparations include the Homecoming 5K and Parade on Saturday, October 21, 2017. To keep all of our participants and spectators safe, Lancaster Avenue (from the Eastern Bypass to Main Street), Main Street (from Lancaster Avenue to Collins Street) and campus roads on the north side of campus will be closed and no unauthorized vehicles will be permitted until the events have completely passed through an area and the streets are safe to re-open. This will impact connecting streets, thru streets, and adjoining streets, to these areas. Expect these roads to be closed from 9:50 AM to approximately 10:50 AM. We will open each road as soon as possible (e.g. when the parade is off of Lancaster, it will be opened followed by Main St., etc., eventually leading to the campus roads re-opening).

Zip though the challenge course, but watch out for zombies! On October 26th from 7:30-10:30 p.m the EKU Challenge Course will come alive! The price for students is $3, public is $5, and children 10 and under are FREE!

Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine.
