Dear Benedictine University Students,

This year’s Homecoming theme is Get Wild with Pride. There will be an informational meeting on Tuesday, September 3 at 4:15 p.m. in Krasa A and B. Several events will be taking place on Campus during Homecoming week, including the first Homecoming Parade, Spread the Red luncheon, Homecoming Pig Roast, comedy show, Hi Infidelity playing after the football game, bonfire and dance. We encourage all students to show the utmost amount of spirit this year, especially student organizations. To encourage school spirit, Alumni Relations will award a prize to the first place homecoming float. The second and third place floats will also receive a prize. We hope that you all enjoy this year’s activities and that everyone participates!

Good luck!
