60 enjoy first Thunder Traveling Tailgate

November 02, 2018

On Thursday, Nov. 1, Trine alumni, parents, current students and friends joined Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., president of Trine University, the Alumni and Development team, and Matt Land, assistant vice president for athletics, on Butler University’s campus for a pregame tailgate at Scotty’s Dawghouse. Sixty guests spent the early evening hours sharing food, beverages and great conversation in a private Trine University-sponsored room. The party relocated to Hinkle Fieldhouse, where Trine Nation cheered on the Lady Thunder as they opened their season against an NCAA Division I opponent. Although the Lady Thunder were unable to bring home a win, the entire group brought home great laughs and memories. Be sure to watch for our next regional events on the Trine Alumni website to join the fun!
