University homecoming celebrations and traditions

Overview

Higher education institutions across North America have engaged in various homecoming festivities and tradition-management efforts.

At Aquinas College, the 18th annual Peter M. Wege Golf Outing was integrated into homecoming weekend to support students and foster community. Meanwhile, Bishop’s University in Lennoxville addressed challenges regarding unregulated crowds and vandalism following previous incidents, emphasizing the need for students to act as stewards of the tradition.

In late October, the University of Kansas held its first homecoming parade in seven years, themed ‘Home on the Hill’. Concurrently, Queen’s University celebrated its centennial homecoming with over 115 events, drawing approximately 4,700 registrants from 81 different graduating classes.
