Get Ready for a Homecoming of Heroes!!!!
Homecoming is UT’s oldest traditions, and one of my favorite. It’s such a great event because it brings together the current students, our alumni, faculty, staff, and the community. This year will be nothing short of heroic with the theme: Homecoming of Heroes.
This year is a little different because Fall Break falls during the same week as homecoming but that isn’t stopping our Homecoming Commission from creating a wonderfully jam-packed week of fun.
Wednesday – Heroes and Hamburgers Cookout and Dan Adhoot
Thursday – Battle by the Fire
Friday – Alumni Homecoming Gala
And finally on Saturday, the Homecoming Parade will begin at 2:00pm and go down Bancroft St and into Old Orchard. The Homecoming Parade is hosted by Blue Key so that’s what I know the most about. I promise we have been working super hard, so get excited for another great parade!
Of course we will have the big game on Saturday night. Come watch our Rocket’s defeat the Western Michigan Broncos in the Glass Bowl at 7:00!!
Oh and don’t forget to vote for Homecoming King and Queen!!!
SEE YOU AT THE GAME!!!

Do you know where floats go before the parade? Where they line up or report too before hand?

Floats will be lining up in the same spot as last year, along the river on North Towerview Blvd. Let me know if you have any other questions, I am serving as the Floats and Judges Co-chair this year for Blue Key
