Homecoming

Alumni and Family Weekend

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PRESIDENT LAURA CASAMENTO REGARDING HOMECOMING 2021

Monday, August 23, 2021

After careful review of the developments surrounding the Delta variant of COVID-19 and in light of current high transmission rates in Oneida County and much of the Northeast, we have decided not to hold Homecoming, Alumni and Family Weekend as planned on September 24-26, 2021.

I understand this is disappointing news. My heart goes out to the students, parents, alumni and friends eagerly anticipating this opportunity to come together. I especially sympathize with members of our Advancement team, whose months of hard work and commitment to planning this event do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. But we must put the health and safety of our campus community first.

For those of you who have registered and submitted payment for Homecoming events, you will soon receive an email with more information regarding refunds.

Thank you for your understanding.

Laura Casamento, President

Show Your Pioneer Pride

Reunion year volunteers are ambassadors for Utica College; taking a leadership role in promoting Homecoming, while encouraging classmates to return to campus for the weekend. It's a great way to enjoy Homecoming, reconnect with your UC friends, and help your alma mater at the same time!

Volunteers participate in the overall reunion effort and are critical to the success of their class’ upcoming reunion.
Each reunion class will have an assigned Utica College staff liaison that will manage the reunion logistics.
Since organizing an event is always a team effort, we encourage you to recruit fellow classmates to volunteer
