NAU Homecoming Dedicatees 1936-2016

Chain Gang taps Kevin Gemoets as Homecoming Dedicatee

In a custom dating back to 1936, leaders of student organizations from across campus annually select a Homecoming Dedicatee—an NAU faculty or staff member for at least 10 years who students feel has demonstrated exceptional service to the university and interest in its students.

Members of the student club Chain Gang uphold the tradition of notifying the Dedicatee by presenting them with a homecoming button bearing the honoree’s photograph.
