Florida Atlantic University Announces
Homecoming Events Schedule

BOCA RATON, FL (November 2, 2004) - Florida Atlantic University continues its 40th anniversary celebration with its annual tradition of Homecoming week, known to students as "Owl Prowl." Like previous years, the focus of Owl Prowl is not just on celebrating FAU football, but also serving the South Florida community with projects such as the Angel Giving Tree, HeartWalk, Owl Care, and more.

Among the events that have become part of the "Owl Prowl" homecoming tradition is the annual comedy show. This year, the lineup is more star-studded than ever before with former MTV vee-jay Bill Bellamy, super-star comedian Orlando Jones of NBC's hit prime-time cartoon Father of the Pride, Corey Holcomb of Comedy Central's Last Comic Standing and local favorite Roz G.
