Homecoming 2023 will celebrate all things MSU through numerous events and activities during the week of Oct. 30 through Nov. 4. The celebration will include Halloween-themed activities for the community and events and many of the MSU traditions that make Homecoming a yearly event for people to celebrate their school spirit in blue and gold.
