ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

For most of her life, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ junior visual communication design major Jasmine McCulley, has built her identity around community, the arts and competition, whether through The Touch of Gold Twirlers or competitive baton twirling. Sixteen years after she first picked up a baton, she will represent Team USA this August in Paris at the IBTF World Competition.

In early April, a video of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Golden Flashes football team went viral when they cheered on the Golden Flashes softball team at a doubleheader against Bowling Green.

Originally from Vaughan, Ontario, Emma Klein made the transition to ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ not only for academic excellence but also for personal growth and a collegiate sports experience. Now in her sophomore year, she is a part of the Honors College, a member of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Division I women’s soccer team, and is a member of Phi Delta Epsilon.

Homecoming 2026 is Oct. 3. Get ready to welcome alumni back to campus, celebrate ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ traditions and cheer on the Golden Flashes as they take on the Ohio University Bobcats in the Homecoming football game.
