The University of Delaware’s Office of Development and Alumni Relations is still accepting submissions from UD’s seven colleges, departments, registered student organizations (RSOs) and special interest groups to participate in Homecoming 2017 by hosting a program geared especially for students and alumni.

Homecoming, taking place Oct. 16-21, serves as a wonderful way for Blue Hens to forge lasting memories at UD and for alumni to reconnect with the impactful and innovative ways the University is shaping the world.

This year’s events already include a Homecoming Spirit Day celebration on The Green for students and an All-Alumni Blue Hen Tailgate, held before the Fightin’ Blue Hens take on the Richmond Spiders.

If you have an idea for an event or program that you believe will resonate well with Blue Hens, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations is available to assist you in the planning, promoting and registration process to ensure its success. From a young alumni mixer, meet and greet with department faculty or a lecture from an industry leader, the options for an event are endless.

Those organizations who have interest in serving as an event host are first encouraged to visit the 2016 Homecoming schedule page for program inspiration. Afterward, submit an event form here. For any additional questions regarding this opportunity, please contact Cathryn Schenk by phone 302-831-1415 or email cschenk@udel.edu.
