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.
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.
Meet the Homecoming Grand Marshal Event
Join us at WKAR studios on the MSU campus Oct. 17 from 6 – 7 p.m. ET as Al Martin, host of WKAR’s Beyond the Score, talks to Sam about his MSU experience and successful career as a professional basketball player and coach. There will be time reserved at the end for Q&A from the audience and a reception with hors d'oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages will follow. A virtual livestream option is available for those not able to attend the event in person.
Registration is now open. Register by Oct. 11.
