The 2012 Homecoming theme was announced Saturday afternoon at THON. Following a short video presentation with members of the Homecoming Committee on stage, the theme was revealed as "The Glory Echoes On." After the announcement, the committee members (which included UPUA president and unfortunately tieless T.J. Bard) and Executive Directer Bridgette Carrier performed the THON line dance on stage.

Atlas Benefitting THON is perhaps best known for being the first non-Greek organization to fundraise the highest total over the course of a year.

But just as the fuzzy pink hats have their own story, Atlas has a new story to tell this year—this past Thursday, the day before THON, Atlas just got its third THON family.
What did you ask for this past Christmas? An iPad, new laptop, a new pair of shoes? This past Christmas, Emily Whitehead would have rather spent her time in the hospital undergoing her bone marrow and stem cell transplant after her relapse, than risk missing THON 2012.
