I could not be more excited about our upcoming Homecoming Week, which will culminate on Saturday, Oct. 3, with a home football game against Vanderbilt University. The theme of this year’s Homecoming Week is “The Big Blue Easy.” The new Homecoming parade route will begin on East Main Street at Maney Avenue and will continue down Baird Avenue.

Join me to watch the 2015 Homecoming parade from the best place on campus—the president’s lawn at Mixer on Main. The lawn will be filled with alumni and friends gathered for an event that could only happen at MTSU. This year’s party will feature parade announcers, music, floats, light snacks, and souvenir photos of your group. After the parade, stay for the tailgate lunch at Mixer on Main, Raider Walk in the Grove, and, of course, the 6:00 p.m. kickoff vs. Vanderbilt!

A complete listing of all events can be found at our website or people can call the Alumni Office at 898-2922 for more information.
