2026 Homecoming & Family Weekend

Join fellow Pilot friends and families for a fun filled weekend on The Bluff!

Homecoming isn’t just about the scoreboard; it’s a celebration of community that starts right here on The Bluff. Take a stroll through the new Shiley-Marcos Center for Design & Innovation, attend a concert with our performing and fine arts students, or simply enjoy a sunset toast with your friends and family.
