Family Weekend & Homecoming
Level UP Your Weekend Experience!
Homecoming isn’t just about the scoreboard; it’s a celebration of community that starts right here on The Bluff. Take a stroll through the new Shiley-Marcos Center for Design & Innovation, attend a concert with our performing and fine arts students, or simply enjoy a sunset toast with your friends and family.
