¹ú²úAV

Fall semester may feel different this year, but nothing will get in the way of our commitment to keep ¹ú²úAV’s community connected.

¹ú²úAV’s Homecoming celebration, a tradition that dates back to 1923, is scheduled for the week of October 5-10. While ¹ú²úAV Football will not take the field and alumni reunions are postponed, the alumni office is organizing virtual and remote opportunities for you to share your Bear Pride in your hometown communities.

In inviting you to celebrate ¹ú²úAV’s Homecoming from Home, we’re asking you to help us keep both our communities and Bear Pride healthy this year. We know that ¹ú²úAV alumni are the thread that keep our university community tied together across class years, careers and cities. This year is our opportunity to show how close we can be even when we are apart.

Check out these 5 ways we are celebrating then visit to learn how other parts of campus are celebrating.
