UND Homecoming Week
A fall tradition that’s been part of UND for more than 100 years, Homecoming Week is scheduled for Oct. 2-7.
Homecoming is a special time on campus every year. UND Football has returned to Grand Forks, and students, faculty, and alumni flock to campus for a week of celebration and UND pride.
The University of North Dakota first held a homecoming in 1916, and throughout the years, the annual celebration has grown to a week filled with fun. The wide array of events offers something for everyone including volunteer opportunities, social hours, a parade and of course, the chance to cheer on the Fighting Hawks to victory.
If you have an event to share, add it to the official Homecoming Week calendar!
