As one of our favorite annual traditions, UMBC Homecoming gives parents, siblings, grandparents, and the whole family the perfect opportunity to get to know the UMBC community and spend quality time together. Enjoy fun and educational activities for the whole family while learning more about your student’s experience at UMBC. From the Parent & Family Breakfast, GRIT-X, Carnival, and the UMBC soccer game, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Get connected and stay informed on ticket availability and other family events through the UMBC Family portal. More events will be posted throughout September.
