Homecoming has been a tradition at George Mason University for many years. What started as a gathering in the fall before a soccer game has grown into a week long series of successful events designed to engage students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community in a celebration of Patriot Pride. This year homecoming week will culminate with the 10th annual Block Party and tailgate, which is an event not to be missed, and is followed by the men's basketball game and fireworks.

Homecoming activities are a collaborative effort coordinated by the student Program Board and a university-wide committee of staff and students. In addition, the Alumni Association coordinates several events specifically for the alumni community. These individuals dedicate months to program planning and development to make the event a huge success. We hope you will plan to join us for "No one swaggers like us: Homecoming 2009."
