It is that time of the year where we invite you to participate in this year's Homecoming activities. The Homecoming Committee hopes your organization/residence hall/ campus ministry will participate in one or more of the events. Help us celebrate being a part of the "Western" family and showing your Big Red Spirit!!

We hope you enjoy the variety of activities being sponsored and look forward to seeing you at the Festival of Friends on Homecoming Day.
