Homecoming is coming

Although you are still college searching, it’s sometimes interesting to hear what graduates are doing after their time at Miami. Do they come back to visit? Of course! This week is the kick-off of a very exciting weekend on campus—Homecoming. Alumni from all over the world will be traveling back to the red brick roads of Oxford to reminisce with friends both old and new. Tonight, the Alumni Association is hosting an awards dinner at our student union where seven scholarships will be awarded to notable candidates. Miami students also take part in a tradition of a house, residence hall, or fraternity house decorating contest to win an award for the most outrageous Miami display.
Tomorrow, if you hear fanfare, it might be our parade marching throughout Miami’s campus ending at a pep rally and Barbeque! Once everyone’s fed, the celebrations continue with tailgating before the RedHawks take on Northern Illinois for our eighth football game of the season. The game day continues when we face the Michigan State Spartans on the ice. Alumni will enjoy a visit to our new ice arena, where our nationally-ranked hockey team will be awaiting another victory. To wrap up a memorable weekend, our conference center is having a send off brunch. As you can see, our students are engaged and love coming back to their home away from home. Love and Honor to Miami!
