Virtual Homecoming set for Oct. 5-10

Because the health and safety of our alumni and students remains our top priority, in-person Homecoming events scheduled for Oct. 5-10 have been canceled.

The decision was made in collaboration with UND President Andrew Armacost, the UND Alumni Association & Foundation Board Executive Committee and UND Athletics.

In addition to the UND Homecoming parade, on-campus student events and the October 10 football game, all events hosted by the Alumni Association & Foundation are canceled, including the 2020 Sioux Awards Banquet and the UND Letterwinners Association Hall of Fame Banquet. This year’s recipients will be recognized next year.

Homecoming 2021 is scheduled for October 18-23.
