Events
The Big Five in Phoenix are five pre-determined annual events held in and around the state capital that alumni from around Arizona can count on occurring year after year. The idea behind the Big 5 is simple. Ohio University Alumni are living everywhere throughout the state of Arizona…From Flagstaff to Yuma, Safford to Show Low, and Prescott to Tucson. Even within metropolitan Phoenix, alumni are spread from Sun City to Chandler and from Fountain Hills to Buckeye (named by an Ohio family, by the way).
The Big 5 events are meant to bring everyone together, no matter when you graduated or where you live, these are the times to connect with fellow Bobcats and make plans for smaller, more intimate gatherings in your own part of the desert. Specifically, the first and fourth gatherings of every year will allow OUAAA regional liaisons to report on and plan for more localized activities. Here is some of what the Big 5 will look like in 2008 2009 and beyond:
