The Homecoming Committee and students at Truman make great use of the facility throughout Homecoming as well as the rest of the year. In order to show our appreciation for the facility and its staff, the committee chose to donate to the renovation of the facility. Each year, the committee puts on a Lip Sync competition in which teams comprised of campus organizations compete against one another in song and dance. Tickets to the event are sold both in advance and at the door for $3 and $4 respectively. This year, the competition raised $3,263 that was split between two philanthropies.

The Truman State University Homecoming Committee is dedicated to providing the students, faculty, and staff of the University and Kirksville community with one week of fun and entertaining events. Homecoming is designed to serve the purpose of linking the past, present and future through various formal and informal events involving alumni, current students, faculty, staff, parents, prospective students, and the entire Kirksville community. The Homecoming Committee is devoted to keeping and building on the tradition from past years, as well as leaving lasting memories. One way in which the Homecoming Committee fulfills this mission each year is through philanthropic efforts that benefit the campus, Kirksville community, and the greater world in which we live. This year, the committee chose three philanthropies to support in fund raising efforts during Homecoming 2007: Rockin’ for the Troops, Adair County YMCA, and Baldwin Auditorium renovations.
