Sunshine, smiles and great company!
More than 300 students, faculty, and staff members gathered on the Coffey Hall lawn on September 15 to kick off the new academic year in CFANS style with good food, conversation, and lawn games
September 22, 2026
Fall is officially underway, and the bright sunshine and ideal weather set the perfect backdrop for this year’s CFANS Welcome Back Picnic. On September 15, the front lawn of Coffey Hall turned into a great spot for our community to gather, relax and connect. More than 300 students, faculty, and staff members stopped by to grab a bite to eat, catch up with colleagues, and welcome new faces to campus. Between the good food, easy conversation, and a few spirited rounds of lawn games, it was a fantastic reminder of the warm camaraderie that makes CFANS so special.
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to join us and help make the afternoon such a success!
