Mark your calendars! All faculty, staff, and students are invited to celebrate Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 3-5.

With more than 1,000 alumni and guests expected on campus for Homecoming this weekend, the energy and excitement will be felt across campus. Their presence may also be felt on the roads, in parking lots, crosswalks, and buildings. Thanks in advance for your patience, and for welcoming alumni back to campus for this CC tradition.

We also want to express our sincere appreciation for the many offices across campus providing meaningful engagement opportunities for alumni through lectures, departmental events, athletic competitions, affinity gatherings, and more. It’s going to be an action-packed few days and we hope you’ll find a way to be part of the festivities! Please review the full schedule of events, with a few highlights noted below.
