Homecoming Celebration
Richard Wackar Stadium, Lot O-1, Lot O | 11 a.m. | Open to All

You—and more than 122,000 alumni—are invited to Rowan University's Glassboro campus to make lasting memories with fellow #RowanPROUD Profs.

Rowan’s Homecoming Celebration includes a University Showcase (an opportunity to explore what’s new with our Colleges, Schools and departments); three tailgating areas reserved for our affinity groups; some of the best food trucks in the region; and a Kids Zone to keep your little owls occupied with face painting, balloon art, inflatables and more.

Cheer on the Rowan University Profs as they take on The College of New Jersey Lions at 2 p.m.

Registration is free, and the first 1,000 alumni to visit the Welcome Tent on October 24 will receive a limited-edition tote bag.

Additionally, the first 500 undergraduate Rowan students to visit the Welcome Tent will receive FREE $10 in food truck vouchers to use during the Celebration!  

If having your organization be seen by thousands of Rowan community members sounds exciting, be sure to check out the sponsorship opportunities for this event.
