Homecoming
Homecoming Festivities
SMSU Homecoming continues to be a favorite event for alumni, friends, students, and community members. In addition to cheering on the Mustangs, there are a variety of events throughout homecoming week that give you the opportunity to connect with other alumni, reminisce with old friends, or tour campus if it's been awhile since you last visited. We hope to see you back home soon!
Be sure to save the date for Homecoming 2024 on Saturday, October 12th, to celebrate our Mustang pride and Southwest traditions.

Alumni Awards
Each year SMSU recognizes alumni and friends who have made significant contributions of time, talent or financial contributions to help advance and bring positive recognition to SMSU. The Alumni Award Celebration will be held from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on Friday, October 11th in the Upper Conference Center.
Homecoming Buttons
The Student Alumni Association (SAA) sells homecoming buttons for $1 per button throughout homecoming week. During halftime of the Mustang football game, five lucky button numbers are drawn to receive fun prizes! Buttons are also available for purchase during the homecoming parade at the Alumni Association hospitality tent – typically located downtown in front of Memorial Park, across the street from the Varsity Pub.
Homecoming Parade
Do you struggle to find the best spot to watch the homecoming parade? Join us by the Alumni Association hospitality tent – typically located downtown in front of Memorial Park, across the street from the Varsity Pub. We'll argue we have the best view and get the most candy!
Alumni Association Tailgate
Prior to kickoff, enjoy a beverage and find good company at the Alumni Association Tailgate tent, located directly across from Mattke Field. Play games, win free swag, hit up the food trucks, and let the Mustang spirit build before heading into the game to cheer on the Mustangs!
