At first I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be very, very real.

Everyone loves the weather, the sports, and the activities that go on around this time. Homecoming is super important because a lot of alumni return to the campus, which\u00a0is extra beautiful during the fall. Homecoming is such a huge success at Morningside. I am excited to come back every year to see old friends and the college itself!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mass communication senior Haley Rustvold transferred to Morningside from her\u00a0hometown community college.
