UND Homecoming Week

Every year, UND alumni and friends flock to campus for a week of celebration and UND pride.

A fall tradition that’s been part of UND for more than 100 years, Homecoming Week is a special time on campus.

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.
