CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Although there weren't thousands of people on Campbellsville University's campus for her 2020 Homecoming, the university's first virtual one was a success, according to Ashley Fox, director of alumni relations.

“Even though we couldn't gather on campus for this year's Homecoming, I could still feel the connection to the CU family through our virtual events,” she said.

Videos and contests were the “norm” for the “Play Paws Rewind” virtual Homecoming with posts from the university appearing in feeds and being seen over 75,000 times.
