Homecoming is one of the university’s most memorable traditions. The event, held in partnership between alumni relations, athletics, student life, housing, and other programs, is robust and offers numerous opportunities for alumni, parents, and friends to return to campus and rediscover their university.
Homecoming should be a coordinated, university-wide effort to engage alumni, students, and the SOU community in activities and events that celebrate SOU’s past and present, while increasing spirit and pride among the Raider family.
