Eagles reconnect and celebrate during Morehead State Homecoming 2024

Next month, Morehead State University alumni, friends, students, faculty, and staff soar home to reminisce, reconnect and rekindle their Eagle spirit at MSU Homecoming 2024.

Homecoming 2024 will celebrate all things MSU through numerous events and activities during the week of Oct. 7 through Oct. 13. This will include many of the MSU traditions that make Homecoming a yearly event for people to celebrate in blue and gold.

"We are looking forward to hosting our alumni, friends, family and supporters of the University back for Homecoming 2024," said Mikayla (Ray) Martin (Class of 2021), alumni relations and event officer. "As always, we are excited for our traditional homecoming festivities. But in addition to those, this year, we will be spotlighting a few projects currently underway on campus, and we can't wait for everyone to see and learn more about what is to come."
