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.
