2022 UDC Homecoming Jubilee 2022 Alumni Farm Tour Yard Fest 2022

Greetings Firebird Nation!

Greetings Alumni!

We have been apart for far too long.  COVID-19 hindered celebrations for the past two years but it’s time for Firebirds to come together as ONE UDC for Homecoming 2022.  Please mark your calendars and plan to attend in-person homecoming festivities November 6-13, 2022.

The week will begin with The Golden Jubilee Celebrations Honoring the Classes ’70, ’71 & ’72, and end with a YardFest and black-tie gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of UDC National Alumni Society.  Scroll down the page for a full listing of homecoming events.

Show our Firebird Pride!  Here’s how:  (1) Purchase alumni gear from UDC Bookstore in person or online; (2) Share the below events with your classmates and former faculty and staff; and download the virtual background.
