Welcome home, Utah!
It’s Homecoming Week, and this year we celebrate 175 years of University of Utah memories! Join us as we continue to shape traditions and create memories for ourselves and for future students for decades (and centuries!) to come.
From a fun run at the Swoop Sprint to the student performances at the annual Songfest, there’s something for everyone to celebrate as part of U Homecoming.
Check out homecoming.utah.edu for all the info on Homecoming!
