Homecoming events for CSE alumni

CSE Homecoming Celebration

Friday, Oct. 10, 2025
4-6 p.m.      
Walter Library
117 Pleasant Street SE
Minneapolis
 
Join fellow College of Science and Engineering (CSE) alumni and friends for one of the University of Minnesota’s most spirited traditions—the Homecoming Parade! Kick off the evening at Walter Library with light refreshments, a cash bar, and family-friendly activities before the parade officially begins at 6:30 p.m. All alumni attendees will receive a free CSE scarf (while supplies last). 

 
Want to be part of the action? March with us in the parade! Walking in the procession is one of the most fun ways to experience Homecoming. You'll walk alongside CSE student groups and the UMN Formula SAE team with their cars! We'll depart Walter Library at 5:30 p.m. to head to the staging area. Be ready for about a mile of walking, including the parade itself (University Avenue between 12th Avenue SE and Walnut Street). 

Happy on the sidelines? Pick up a CSE pom pom, find a spot on University Avenue, and cheer us on. 

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate Homecoming together with the CSE community! 

This event is complimentary, but pre-registration is required by Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.

Questions? Contact us at [email protected].
