Since 2014, the Gator community has proudly celebrated the spirit and pride of UHD at Homecoming. This year, we’re looking back at the past and celebrating what’s ahead with “UHD Through the Decades: Throwback on the Bayou” from Monday, October 6 to Saturday, October 11. Students, staff, faculty, and UHD alums can look forward to the return of the annual pep rally, fan-favorite Tail-Gatoring event, and the second annual Bayou's Best Showcase.
"UHD Homecoming is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the greatness of UHD," said
Tremaine Kwasikpui, Director of Student Leadership and Involvement. "The week is going to be phenomenal."
