Homecoming is back — and this year, it's going to look a little different. 👀
Dr. Sawamura and Dr. Tong are here to kick off Homecoming season, and trust us, this one's worth the hype.
Come early, too — campus tours run a full hour before Homecoming starts, so you can relive the halls before it all kicks off.
Where will Homecoming be this year? We can't say just yet. Stay tuned. 👀

📅 September 19th — Homecoming is coming. Mark it down.

📝 Register by September 2nd — don't miss your spot.
