UNF Homecoming - a week of Osprey pride, tradition and community

The University of North Florida will celebrate Homecoming from Monday, Nov. 9, through Saturday, Nov. 14, with a weeklong lineup of events bringing together students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community to celebrate Osprey pride, campus traditions and the connections that make UNF feel like home.

A highlight of the week will be the Homecoming parade on Saturday featuring more than 35 groups, including student organizations, high school marching bands and community organizations. UNF Interim President Dr. Angela Garcia Falconetti will serve as grand marshal.

The festivities will culminate that afternoon as UNF men's basketball takes on The Citadel at 2 p.m. at the UNF Arena. To celebrate Homecoming, Athletics is offering special $10 general admission tickets, giving fans an affordable opportunity to cheer on the Ospreys and join the game-day excitement. Admission is always free for UNF students with their Osprey 1Card.
