Fall Weekend, our annual celebration for alumni, parents and students, is Oct. 23-25. The theme is "Staying Connected," with a special focus on how technology and innovation are changing the way we live, learn and communicate.

The weekend will include all the traditional activities -- Harvestfest, athletic events and an all-campus picnic on Tempel Green -- as well many new events and activities. Highlights of the weekend are:

* A special series of Saturday Seminars, many of them looking at how to better use, understand and enjoy the opportunities technology provides.

* "Revolution in the Internet Era," a talk by Fernando Juan Espuelas-Asenjoy '88, named a "Leader for the New Millennium" by Time Magazine.

* Field hockey and soccer games vs. rival Colby College.

* A keynote presentation Friday night.

* A celebration of Unity House's 35th anniversary.

* Induction of four alumni athletes into the College's Athletic Hall of Fame.

* A student production of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
