Welcome to Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026!
All Roads Lead Home this fall as we invite alumni, families, students, and the community back to campus for Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026 at SIUE.
Mark your calendars for September 23–27, 2026, and get ready for a weekend full of Cougar spirit, connection, and celebration. Whether you’re an alumnus returning to relive your favorite campus memories, a family member experiencing SIUE alongside your student, or a community member joining in the festivities, this is a time for everyone to come together and celebrate the people and places that make SIUE feel like home.
Inspired by the Route 66 Centennial, this year’s theme, All Roads Lead Home, celebrates the journeys that bring us back to campus and the shared experiences that connect generations of Cougars.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll find a variety of events, programs, and activities designed for alumni, families, students, and community members, all coming together to create an unforgettable SIUE experience.
We’re working hard to craft an exciting lineup of events you won’t want to miss. Check back soon to see what we have in store for the weekend!
