Homecoming Tips
Stay Hydrated
Homecoming is a long day. Not only are you out late on Friday visiting old Bearcats, you’re going to be up early on Saturday morning for a long day. Making sure you’re drinking a ton of water will make you hang on until the weekend is over.
Be Open to Meeting New People
If you’re a freshman, homecoming can be a lot different than you expect. Campus is hustling with thousands of Bearcats! It can be overwhelming to see so many new faces at your “home.” However, the people here have been in your position before so they will be more than happy to show you how awesome it is to be a Bearcat.
Wear your Green and Gold
School pride is something you should have at all times, but during homecoming it’s über important. If you don’t have something St. Vincent yet, check your closet for green and gold or head over to the bookstore to get some new apparel!
Go to the Football Game
As the football game is about to start, find your place on the hill and stay there to see the Bearcats take on Case Western Reserve University. During half time the Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned. This is a honored tradition that you won’t want to miss out on.
Volunteer for your Club
Clubs will be partaking in the homecoming carnival! It’s a lot of fun because there are so many activities, yummy treats, and prizes. If you’re a part of a club, you’ll be asked to help participate in the club’s booth. This is a great opportunity to show your involvement and be a part of something awesome.
