Homecoming Week is the epitome of Ragin' Cajuns pride! Celebrating the sheer awesomeness of our University and bringing alumni back to reminisce on the great times they shared is a huge part of Homecoming Week. The University Program Center presents a week of events that inspire students to love their University more and more each day. Kicking off the week with Paint Your Pride window decorating, various student organizations exhibit their artistic talents by depicting Ragin' Cajun scenes from football fields to the Walk of Honor to our beloved fleur-de-lis. Throughout the week, students are able to get free cupcakes at our Cupcake Give Away, rep their style at the Homecoming Fashion Show, show their skills in Cajuns Got Talent, scream at the top of their lungs for the Ragin' Cajuns football team at our Yell Like Hell pep rally, and end the week by cheering on the Ragin' Cajuns at the Homecoming football game. Additionally, the Homecoming Court recognizes outstanding 鶹ҹ students and showcases their achievements and contributions to the betterment of the University.
