The fun kicks off with the grand opening of the new Student Activities Center, HSU’s reimagined student union with new eateries, video games, and a movie lounge. Homecoming Week will feature live music, Virtual Drag Queen Bingo, and more. Events are also open to staff and faculty.
Don’t forget to show your Lumberjack pride all week on Instagram (details here). And help ensure that students can continue on their path to graduation, even during the pandemic, by giving to the Student Adversity Fund.
