Homecoming 2023

Homecoming festivities October 13-14, 2023

Oregon State University Homecoming weekend is a blend of cherished traditions and new beginnings, where you'll find inspiration, laughter and the embrace of a community that stands the test of time. Grab your orange-and-black garb and come along for the festivities. See how the campus has improved and reminisce about the things that are exactly the same as you remember from your OSU days. 

Join OSU’s Homecoming celebrations this Oct. 13-14. We can’t wait to welcome you back to campus for memorable campus traditions and activities across campus before we cheer for an Oregon State victory against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday, Oct. 14. Go Beavs!
