Western Illinois University is gearing up to celebrate its Homecoming 2024 with a historical nod to its 125-year legacy. Themed “125 Years of Purple and Gold,” the festivities will occur from October 11th & 12th on the Macomb campus.
The celebration starts with Thursday’s Town and Gown event on October 3rd, leading into a series of engaging student and alumni activities, including the much-loved Paint the Paws. The Homecoming week will feature numerous reunions, sports events, and social gatherings, culminating in a spirited football game against UT Martin at Hanson Field. Alumni and students are encouraged to participate in these traditions and can register or find more detailed information by visiting the WIU alumni page or the student union board.
