Homecoming

October 25-27, 2012

• Pre-game Bash for alumni to relax & socialize the night before Saturday's events.
• Class Parade just before the football game.
• Special Interest Group Activities for various groups such as Young Alumni or Alumni of Color.
• Sporting Events
• Open Houses - tour the recent additions to campus as well as the President's Residence and Ole Jim.
• College Bowl where the 25^th and 50^th anniversary classes compete with Gallaudet's College Bowl team using brains & wits.
