Homecoming

Faculty and staff members can purchase discounted tickets to the Homecoming football game and more. 

Homecoming Weekend at Kent State came with a full schedule of events including a parade, alumni activities, a tailgate and a football game at Dix Stadium.

From the grand opening of Crawford Hall to the big parade, Homecoming 2024 had a little something for everyone!

This year’s Homecoming theme is A Legacy of Leadership. The university recognizes two prestigious student organizations as its Homecoming Parade Grand Marshals: the Undergraduate Student Government, celebrating its 100th anniversary, and Kent Student Ambassadors, celebrating its 40th anniversary.

All around campus - and on the streets of Kent -  there are signs that it's almost time for Kent State to erupt in a Blue and Gold celebration for Homecoming Weekend. 

Kent State University is set to burst with Golden Flash pride as the annual Homecoming celebration returns Sept. 28. 

Members of Kent State’s 2024 Homecoming Court will be among the students working with Flashes Fighting Hunger and the Kent Health Department at a Pop-Up Pantry created to help community members in need.

Everyone was at Dix Stadium to cheer for our Golden Flashes at Kent State's Homecoming celebration last weekend.

Kent State University celebrated its annual Homecoming on the Kent Campus this past weekend, with a resounding display of Golden Flashes spirit. This year's Homecoming was particularly special, as Kent State commemorated 50 years of excellence in global education with the theme "It's a Flash World."
