Homecoming is for all of us! Whether you graduated five years ago or fifty, whether you walked these halls or cheered from the sidelines—Homecoming is your time to reconnect, celebrate, and rediscover the place that brought us all together.
This weekend isn’t just for Golden Grads or Reunion years. It’s for roommates who haven’t seen each other in too long. It’s for former teammates, professors, and mentors. It’s for new faces and old traditions.
