ODI family and friends from far and wide returned to campus over the weekend to enjoy ODI’s Homecoming Open House and Celebration, greeting old friends and making new ones during the festivities in Hale Hall.

“Home is meant to be a space that’s filled with warmth, loved ones, community, and belonging,” remarked Dr. Andreá Williams, Associate Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion, in her brief remarks capping Saturday’s brunch. “That’s what we’re building here in Hale Hall. In fact, that’s what has stood for fifty years.”
