It’s almost time for the Ramily to reunite on the Hilltop for Homecoming and Reunion Weekend 2025, October 10–12.
The Cornell Alumni Office is preparing a schedule packed with something for all campus visitors—from those ready to rock their purple gear at the football game to curious explorers interested in the Unique Spaces tour
“Homecoming is a special time for our alumni to reconnect with old friends at a place that always feels like home,” said Director of Alumni Engagement Zoe Russell. “This year, we’re thrilled to introduce new events designed especially for our alumni community. Whether you’re coming back to relive cherished memories or make new ones, we hope you’ll dive in and explore everything we’ve planned.”
Alums and their families are invited to the first Rams Rally lunch event to enjoy a meal and activities before the football game. The family-friendly program will unfold inside the gates of Van Metre Field at Ash Park and will include ram horns and temporary tattoos for the youngest Ram fans.
Another new event this year is Cheers to Cornell in the Thomas Commons from 6:30–8:30 p.m. All alums are 
invited to celebrate Homecoming and Reunion Weekend with a party on the Orange Carpet. Appetizers will be served throughout the Commons, and Cornell’s talented Pop/Contemporary Ensemble and Jazz Band will perform.
Traditional events like the football game vs. Ripon College at 2 p.m. at Van Metre Field at Ash Park, the art exhibit (“Edens and End Times” by James Ostrander ’13), the C Club Breakfast at 8 a.m. in Thomas Commons, and Friday’s Classes without Quizzes are back on the schedule. Plus, we’ll celebrate the 50th reunion for the Class of 1975 and many other special reunions and gatherings.
