Kick-off Homecoming week with Student Life in the A. Lincoln Commons from 10 am to 2 pm. You can compete against our basketball players or your friends in a game of Pop-A-Shot or Strike-A-Light. While you are here, enjoy some waffle dogs with Chicago-style toppings, and receive a homecoming t-shirt (first 50 students). This is not an event you want to miss.

Join us today in the A. Lincoln Commons from 10am to 2pm to frame this moment. Take pictures and frame it in a keychain or a magnet frame to remember this homecoming for years to come. Also, enjoy some deep-fried Oreos.
