Homecoming
MSU will celebrate Homecoming 2024 with a variety of activities for alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members Oct. 14-19.
Welcome Home, Spartans
MSU alumni are known for their global impact. Students come from all corners of the globe and, after graduation, go on to make an impact in countless industries and locations. Every graduate has written their own story, with their own unique accomplishments. But whatever the future holds, there's one thing that unites all Spartans: coming home.
Homecoming Parade
The Homecoming Parade is a fun, annual tradition that features the Spartan Marching Band, Michigan high school marching bands, MSU campus groups, community organizations, university officials, Sparty and much more.
Check out the photos from the 2023 parade.
Homecoming Grand Marshal
We are honored to present Sam Vincent as the 2024 Homecoming Grand Marshal. Sam is an exceptional Spartan who exemplifies what it means to be a globally engaged leader.
Homecoming Court
Being selected to represent Michigan State University on the Homecoming Court is considered one of the highest honors for MSU seniors.
Homecoming Football Game
The Spartan football team takes on the Iowa Hawkeyes Oct. 19. Single game tickets for the public are scheduled to go on sale Aug. 8. Information is available on the Spartan Athletics website.
Glow Green
Whether you make it back to East Lansing or not, you can show your Spartan spirit by swapping your front porch, window, room, or any other light that can "glow” with a green bulb during Homecoming - Glow Green.
