2005-06 BULLDOG ATHLETICS LUNCHEON SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
Ferris State To Hold Four Luncheons At The Wheeler Pavilion This Year
The Ferris State University Alumni Association, in conjunction with the FSU Athletics Department, will host four Bulldog Athletics Luncheons during the 2005-06 athletics season.
The luncheons, which will be held within the President's Box (second level) of the Wheeler Pavilion at FSU's Top Taggart Field, provide guests with an opportunity to listen to selected head coaches recap previous contests and preview upcoming events. Each luncheon this season will consist of three or four featured speakers from Ferris' 15 varsity athletics programs. Additional head coaches not scheduled to be featured will also be available to discuss their respective programs.
All four luncheons will begin at 12 p.m. (ET) and last approximately one hour. The initial luncheon, which is slated for Wednesday, Aug. 31, will feature Bulldog football head coach Jeff Pierce, women's soccer head coach Melissa Lalonde and Tia Brandel-Wilhelm, women's volleyball head coach.
The luncheons will be catered by FSU Dining Services and the $7 cost includes food and beverages. Raffle prizes from the athletics department, individual coaches and the alumni association will also be given away.
The $1.8 million state-of-the-art Wheeler Pavilion was completed in August 2001 and overlooks Top Taggart Field, one of the nation's top Division II football-playing facilities. The three-story building, named in honor of alumnus John Wheeler ('76) and his wife, Chris, is located on the stadium's west side. Parking for the luncheons will be available inside the stadium adjacent to the bleachers at the west entrance.
