Homecoming

MSU will celebrate Homecoming 2024 with a variety of activities for alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members Oct. 14-19. 

Homecoming Parade registration opens Sept. 3.

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.
