There's No Place Like Homecoming!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Homecoming 2026! It was a wonderful weekend welcoming Muskies back to campus, reconnecting with friends and teammates, and celebrating our alumni.
From honoring our Alumni Award recipients and welcoming the Class of 1976 into the Emeritus Club to celebrating our Athletics Hall of Fame inductees, team reunions and tailgate festivities, Muskie pride was on full display!
Thank you to all our alumni, families, friends, students, faculty, staff and volunteers who made the weekend a success. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year!
