Syracuse University is preparing for its annual Orange Central Homecoming 2024, scheduled for November 1-3. The weekend aims to unite the campus community in a spirit of camaraderie and pride. The event, organized by the Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, features several key programs.

The festivities begin on Friday, November 1, with "Forever Orange Friday" from 6-9 p.m. at Shaw Quad. Attendees can enjoy a cookout, lawn games, and a photo booth while mingling with student organizations participating in the Student Organization Challenge.

On Saturday, November 2, the day starts with a "Homecoming Alumni Breakfast" from 9-10:30 a.m. in Schine’s Goldstein Auditorium. This event provides an opportunity for alumni to connect with students, faculty, and staff across various schools and colleges. Participants can also pick up an exclusive game day clear tote before heading to the Quad for the tailgate.

The weekend concludes on Sunday, November 3, with a new addition—the SU Arts Fair and Brunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Shaffer Art Building lobby. This event offers hands-on art activities, drumming performances, guided tours of the Syracuse University Art Museum, and brunch.

The homecoming weekend is not only about events but also celebrates the Syracuse University community's spirit. The university encourages graduates, current students, faculty members, and staff to participate in this weekend filled with fun and festivities.
