Homecoming 2024 Logo WHERE DAWGS BECOME GODS

Much like the ancient gatherings of old, Homecoming and Family Day at UWSP are special events that encourage athletic competition, creativity, collaboration, and community pride. Homecoming enables alumni to reconnect with their alma mater and share their experiences with each other and with current students, while Family Day encourages families to return to campus and offer their support. These traditions promote a strong sense of belonging and pride in our Pointer community.
