“Homecoming is a great way to stay connected to Baker,” said Doug Barth, ’91, Director of Alumni Relations. “It’s a fun opportunity to visit with old friends and classmates while enjoying free food at the alumni and friends tailgate. Bring you children or grandchildren with you to experience the inflatables in the Wildcat KidZone inside Liston stadium, and stick around to watch our undefeated Baker Wildcat football team.”
