HOMECOMING

SHOW YOUR BLUE PRIDE

Fall Homecoming is a great time to gather with former classmates and teammates to reminisce about YOUR days on Salisbury Street.  Come back to see the beautiful fall campus; see the progress of the new academic building, and cheer on the defending NE-10 championship football team.

Students are also planning some fun HOUNDCOMING activities throughout the weekend including showcasing some of their clubs and activities; dance and cheerleading team performances; a HoundSound acapella performance during the game's halftime; and a Parade of Floats.  Show your Blue Pride!
