On Saturday, Oct. 4, the university celebrated Homecoming and Family Day with many events across campus. 

Students and families began by going to the welcome tent on the Moore Field House Lawn, where complimentary T-shirts and food vouchers were handed out. 

There was tailgating in the North Campus Parking Lot featuring free food, raffles and giveaways. 

Nearby, the Kidz Korner on Jess Dow Field offered face painting and crafts courtesy of the physical education club, making it a hit with younger Owls. 

The parking lot between Moore Field House and the Wintergreen Building buzzed with activity from food trucks and carnival games. 

Students and families then watched the football team take on Bentley University. 

Fans filled the stands for a complimentary game experience. 

The event brought together students, alumni and families in a spirited celebration of Owl pride, connection and community.
