Celebrate ULM Homecoming Week, Oct. 21-27
University of Louisiana at Monroe Homecoming Week—Oct. 21-Oct. 27—means fun, festivities, and football.
Students, alumni, and all members of the ULM family will enjoy a mix of the traditional and the new as Homecoming culminates with the Homecoming football game vs. the University of South Alabama, at 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27, in Malone Stadium.
With the current national attention given to the ULM football team, many have branded the Warhawks as “America’s Team.”
Student leaders chose an accompanying theme for this year’s homecoming events: “Ace Wants You for America’s Team.”
