Homecoming at WCU is the annual tradition of welcoming alumni back to campus. It is a time for alumni and students to enjoy the camaraderie of campus life and fellowship with classmates. The 2019 Homecoming will be held March 22-23 and consist of various activities including banquets, a crawfish boil, sports, fine arts performances, and the coronation of a Homecoming Queen.
