Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate your Orange pride! It’s time to sign up for Orange Central Homecoming 2025, Oct. 17-19.
Syracuse University alumni are invited back home for an amazing fall weekend packed with tradition, connection and a celebration of what it means to be Orange. Whether you just graduated or it’s been years since you’ve stepped on campus, this year’s homecoming promises something special for every member of the Orange family.
Highlights include Forever Orange Friday, a family-friendly celebration that will make history as the first homecoming event to take place in the brand-new Miron Victory Court at the JMA Wireless Dome. From 6-9:30 p.m., alumni and their families can enjoy food and drinks, snap photos with Otto, create game day crafts with Arts at SU students and watch the Syracuse University Marching Band rehearse right on the Dome turf. Plus, learn about some of our amazing student organizations and find out how you can support the cool things they’re doing!
Start Saturday morning with our Homecoming Alumni Breakfast in the Schine Student Center’s Goldstein Auditorium from 8:30-10:30 a.m. This signature gathering brings together alumni, current students and leaders from across the University. Collect stamps on your “One University passport” by visiting booths representing the University’s schools and colleges to earn an exclusive, clear game day tote bag!
Get discounted football tickets to cheer on the Orange against Pittsburgh at the JMA Wireless Dome (kickoff time TBA). Get ready for the game at the Orange Central Homecoming Tailgate on Shaw Quad beginning 2.5 hours before kickoff. This festive, pre-game celebration features classic tailgate fare, game day giveaways and a special performance by the Marching Band on the steps of Hendricks Chapel one hour before game time—a homecoming tradition that brings together generations of Orange pride.
Many signature experiences—including Forever Orange Friday, the Homecoming Alumni Breakfast and the Orange Central Tailgate—offer special pricing for Generation Orange recent graduates.
Sign up now, take advantage of our hotel room blocks before they sell out and get ready to come back to your forever Orange home away from home!
