HOMECOMING WEEK 2026

Monday, October 26 - Saturday, October 31

Homecoming welcomes alumni back to campus and encourages current students to show off their OU pride!

The 111th Homecoming is part of the Student Government Association programming branch through Campus Activities Council. CAC Homecoming is a completely student run and student-led initiative. Organizations participate in a series of individual events such as sidewalk chalking, banner making, a pep-rally, and float making. This year's Homecoming theme is Built for the Palace and students will design their floats, board, banners and pep rally routines around what makes OU feel like home to them. 

Please direct any questions to the CAC Homecoming student chair, Amari Garcia.

Follow us on Instagram @oucachomecoming for more information!
