This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

Homecoming is simply the welcoming back of alumni to a school.  The NCAA recognizes The University of Missouri as the birthplace of homecoming.  Here at Bryant?  It’s bigger.  It’s more than a weekend to welcome back the alumni from many generations of students at Bryant.  It’s a weekend to reconnect with old friends.  It’s a weekend to show black and gold pride.  It’s a weekend to never forget the community this campus holds.  

This year, Bryant is lucky enough to be celebrating its 150th anniversary.  So, reconnecting, showing pride, and becoming closer as a community is a tradition that has carried on for 150 years and will continue to carry on for another 150 here in Smithfield, RI.

If you are attending Reunion @ Homecoming (October 11-12) you are in for a weekend you will never forget!  Festivites include a lobster bake, golf outings, a wine tasting, fireworks and pep rally, and plenty of tailgating.  For more information visit the site here or if you would like to register click here!  We cannot wait to see you on campus next weekend for a weekend full of memories.  Below is a video from the 2010 Homecoming Weekend!
