The final Witt Nation Welcome tour event was spectacular! Columbus really rolled out a memorable welcome with over 120 alumni, friends, students, and staff in attendance. I’ve been particularly struck by the great diversity in age at these events, and tonight was no exception. We’ve seen alumni from the 1940s and 1950s down to the newest Witt students, and even the littlest future Tigers!

Wendell Lutz ’66 and Steve Buchenroth ’70, Witt Nation veterans and members of the Board of Directors, were in attendance to sample some Graeter’s ice cream and share some laughs with the crew and fellow alumni. T-shirts flew off the table! A hot commodity, expect to see many of these on campus and out in circulation this fall.

Thank you to all who attended to make this a great finale. The crew now begins their last return trip back to Springfield bursting with Witenberg pride.
