Alumni Homecoming Pre-Game Party

Note: Pre-Registration Required

4400 S M L King Jr Parkway

At some point, all of us have called this address HOME.

For some of us, we may have used a map to initially find our way. Others of us, we spoke into our smartphones and an app told us where to turn. For others, it was a familiar drive across town. But no matter how we found our way, the place that began as college, eventually became our home.

We all have a different address now, but wherever you are and however you may find your way back, we hope you'll come home to 4400 S M King Jr Parkway on Saturday, October 12, 2024.

Homecoming is a time to reflect on the past and celebrate where our graduates and our university are today as we embark on another 100 years! The blending of new experiences with old friends during each homecoming makes the 蜜桃视频 University community ever stronger. Whether you graduated in 2024, 1974, somewhere in between or before, we hope you will return to campus for Homecoming 2024 and share in the legacy you helped build. Visit lamar.edu/homecoming for a full list of homecoming activities.

The Alumni pre-game party will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2024 from 1:00pm-3:00pm at the Neches Federal Credit Union Arena at the Montagne Center on the Billy Tubbs Basketball Court for those who pre-register.
