125 Years of Stories

125 Years of Stories. What's Yours?

The Ferris Student Club History organization at Ferris cordially invites you to attend a special event during Homecoming 2009 at 9 a.m. in the Ferris Archives in the Alumni Building. "125 Years of Stories. What's Yours?" gives you the opportunity to bring your Ferris artifact and/or your favorite memory of Ferris to share with members of the archival staff at Ferris. We'll scan your photos, record your story and photograph your special artifacts for posterity. Confess to the best pranks ever and we won't tell - we promise!

Tim Pendell, former Ferris Sports Information Director and currently the Community Affairs Director for the Detroit Lions, will host our video-taped portion of the event. Darlene Novak, area antiques expert, will be on hand to tell you more about your Ferris artifacts. Enjoy refreshments in the lobby as you browse the historical displays and meet other alumni and friends of the University.
