Titans, assemble! Leap, fly and swing onto the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus for Heroes of Homecoming 2015 festivities Oct. 12-18.

Whether you prefer watching the  traditional football game or riding in the annual Tour de Titan bike ride, Homecoming offers a wide variety of activities to activate the inner super hero of  our entire UW Oshkosh community, including students, faculty and staff and our Titans fans. Be sure to save the date and encourage all your sidekicks to attend as well.

“Homecoming is a great time to reconnect with UWO classmates and return to campus to see what’s new,” UWO Alumni Relations Director Christine Gantner said.

This year’s Homecoming includes celebrating our UWO heroes—complete with black Titans capes. If there is a UWO professor, dean, adviser or mentor who made a significant impact on your life, share your UWO super hero story on social media with the hashtag #uwohero.

UWO students also get involved throughout the week with Homecoming activities ranging from flag football to a spoons tournament. They can choose events that best fit their super hero powers.

“The nice thing with Homecoming is that there are a lot of different events, so students can pick which ones they want to attend,” said Missy Burgess, Reeve Union’s assistant director of Student Involvement.
