Homecoming 2020
This year’s Homecoming celebration will look different from Homecoming’s past. To consider the health and well-being of our campus community and all of you, all alumni Homecoming events are going to be virtual. However, there are still going to be opportunities to connect with your AU family and friends. We will be hosting Decade Reunions (for the Classes of 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010), virtual luminaries, an alumni concert showcase, virtual trivia night, esports competition, fall sports tribute, faculty webinars, and much more!
Since we are not going to be able to meet on campus this year, we invite you to #StillAU Homecoming! We are providing you with your very own “Stay At Home-coming” packet of printables that you can download for your own Homecoming celebration.
