Homecoming Events

LGBTQ Center Open House | 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Lynn Hall

The Center serves as a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where people can build meaningful relationships across differences and engage in conversations about race, gender, and sexual orientation. Each year during Homecoming in October, we invite alumni and guests to visit Lynn Hall—enter through the door on the right—for fun activities, engaging conversations, and a chance to reconnect with the heart of our community.
