HOMECOMING POLICY SURVEY The University of Arizona Alumni Association is conducting research regarding the role of homecoming for UA Alums. If you attended the pre-game activities on the mall in either 2005 or 2006, we are asking you to take a very brief survey, the results of which will be used to assist in determining activities and policies. If you participated in the earlier homecoming survey, we would like to thank you and ask that you complete this survey as well, as the subject matters are different.  As always, thank you for your feedback and support.
