How To Make the Most Out of Homecoming Week
Posted September 23, 2019
As I start my third year at SIUE, one thing that always gets me excited in the fall are the freebies. Luckily, there is an event happening now! SIUE Homecoming Week starts today and ends September 29.
Homecoming is one of my absolute favorite events on campus because it is a week full of free giveaways and fun activities. I always look forward to the t-shirts, water bottles, coupons and other items that are available during Homecoming.
So, here is your guide for making the most out of SIUE’s Homecoming Week!

- The Homecoming Kick Off is one of my favorite events because there are free t-shirts and food!
