October 30 - November 5, 2016

Each year the Alumni Association plays host to a week's worth of fun and fellowship leading up to Homecoming Day on campus. Alumni, students, and friends of the community come together for a variety of events taking place and show off their Ragin' Cajun pride. Join us in welcoming home alumni and friends in a week-long celebration leading up to the big game when our Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns take on the Idaho Vandals on Saturday, November 5!
