Homecoming is a tradition as old as UMSL itself. Join us for a week of celebrating UMSL students and alumni, show your Triton pride, and watch the fun of Homecoming unfold.
Homecoming Service Project - February 20-27
Celebrate the spirit of giving during this year's Homecoming by participating in our Can Food Drive! Embrace the joy of coming together as a community to make a positive impact. Bring canned goods and non-perishable items to contribute to those in need, creating a ripple of kindness that echoes the true essence of homecoming. Each donation will go to support the Homecoming Royalty Candidates and all canned goods will be donated to Triton Pantry! Donations can be delivered to the Millennium Student Center - Room 366 (the Penthouse)!
Chili Feed - February 22
Join our Homecoming festivities with a bowl of homemade chili with recipes created by our very own UMSL faculty. You will have the opportunity to sample 5 chili recipes. Taste carefully! You must vote for your favorite chili entry to select the winner of the Golden Ladle Award. The event is $5 for students and $6 for Faculty/Staff/Alumni.
Triton's Got Talent - February 26
Dive into a sea of talent at Triton's Got Talent, where the spotlight shines on the extraordinary skills and creativity within our community! We will have 10 acts and a few special performances! The event is free to all Students, Faculty, Staff and Community Guests!
Unity Homecoming Social - February 28
Calling all students of color and allies to join us for a Homecoming Mixer! Join us as alumni take a journey back to their roots and foretell stories as former UMSL students and provide advice to future community leaders. Food, music, and good vibes will be provided. Be sure to stick around for the giveaways!
Pack the Stands/Basketball Game - February 29
Cheer on the UMSL Tritons basketball teams as they take on Indianapolis. UMSL students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends are encouraged to attend not only the basketball games but also our Homecoming activities in the Mark Twain balcony.
