Football is usually synonymous with Homecoming, but at VCU we put our own unique touch on this traditional event. We celebrate our 9 year University tradition in style… filling it with school spirit, major concerts, a Step Show, exciting themed events, a tailgate party and so much more! Some of the highlights for this year include:
Don't worry sports fans, we've got you covered too. Join us in cheering on our women's basketball team on February 5th against UNC Wilmington at home and men's basketball team on February 7th at home against William & Mary for the grand finale of our Homecoming celebration.
