Homecoming Promises to ‘Pump It Up’

WEEKEND FESTIVITIES TO WELCOME BACK LIFELONG BEARCAT FAMILY

Homecoming parade

Offering a unique mix of tradition, pageantry, connections and camaraderie, Homecoming promises to pump up the excitement level for everyone in the UC family with a full schedule of activities.

 

Just look at what’s happening this week:

  • Our students are already deep into a variety of Homecoming Week activities designed to build intensity day by day while representing this year’s “Pump It Up” theme.
  • Many alumni who remain plugged into their colleges and special-interest groups can attend gatherings where they’ll renew acquaintances, share memories and honor the most accomplished among them.
  • Various reunions are welcoming and celebrating classes of alumni who attended school together.
  • Friday night’s Homecoming Kickoff Party on Sheakley Lawn in Varsity Village is a high-energy pep rally with great music, food, fun, and visits from Coach Luke Fickell and Athletic Director John Cunningham. We’ll start the festivities at 6 p.m.
  • Then comes Saturday when UC family members of all ages will line Clifton Avenue for the annual Homecoming Parade at 10:30 a.m., followed by a packed Nippert Stadium crowd cheering on our Cincinnati Bearcats, who host the South Florida Bulls at 2:30 p.m.

Phrases like “Strength in Unity” and “Thy Loyal Children” are at the heart of the lifelong partnership between UC alumni and our university, and right now they’re on full display. I hope you’ll be able to return to campus this weekend to rekindle your relationship with our alma mater. It’s Homecoming at UC, and we’d love to welcome you back!

 

Go Bearcats!
