Greetings Fellow Â鶹ÊÓƵites

Think about the memories you made at Â鶹ÊÓƵ University, about the friendships you formed, and about the professors who taught and inspired you. This year's Homecoming weekend will provide multiple opportunities for you to reunite with the people who made your Â鶹ÊÓƵ years so special. Reunion tents by decade will allow you to catch up with friends and get to know their families.

There's no better time than now to make your trip back home to Â鶹ÊÓƵ University.
