Homecoming | Student Leadership

Sunday, Sept 13 - Saturday, Sept 19, 2026

Few homecoming festivities on any campus can rival Michigan Tech’s for zaniness and all-around fun! In addition to the football game, the celebration features competitive and relaxing events, a cardboard boat race, the crowning of the homecoming royalty, and many other events that promote Husky Spirit. This year's theme is "Mission Homecoming!"
