Learn More About Homecoming and Family Weekend
Signature Homecoming and Family Weekend festivities returning in 2025 include the tailgate, soccer game, and fireworks show, but there is plenty of room to host events featuring colleges, schools and administrative divisions.
Proposed events should meet the weekend's goals of furthering alumni engagement, offering ways for students to get involved and connect with the campus community or providing parent and family programming.
New Process for 2025
A two-step process has been introduced for Homecoming and Family Weekend event proposals and planning this year.
- Step 1: Fill out an interest form. Completed forms will allow the committee to assess your event to ensure it aligns with overall event goals and determine if the proposed date, location and time are available. Forms must be submitted even for events held regularly in the past. Organizers proposing multiple events should fill out an individual form for each one. The HCFW Planning Committee will review all submissions. Those who submit the interest form will be notified by the week of April 21 about approvals and next steps.
- Step 2: Those organizers whose events are approved to move forward in the planning process will be asked to complete a supplemental form. This second form will allow event organizers to provide detailed information about logistics, registration details, communication plans, volunteer requests and more.
Help Spread the Word
The participation of SLU’s entire community helps make Homecoming and Family Weekend a success. Share the interest form with others at SLU who might want to organize an event and build excitement about this year’s events with students, parents, alumni and the SLU community. Attendee registration opens Friday, Aug. 1.
