Homecoming is a broad, inclusive campus festival celebrating life at UAA, anchored by our version of "the big game," the Kendall Hockey Classic. Everyone craves connection, and this is an easy way to get it. Alumni revisit the faces and places that made their years at UAA memorable. Students, staff and faculty relish the daily Good Morning Seawolves coffee and noontime BBQ social hours. In 2010, spirits ran high at the tug-of-war and the Wii tournament.

New surprises are planned for Homecoming 2011, including a twist on the traditional float parade and more fun and games at an outdoor Field Day. The whole Anchorage community is invited to join students, faculty and staff on campus for this fun fall event. Check back here frequently; we'll add details on entertainment, the Field Day, Homecoming Dance, Kendall Hockey Classic and more.

Key dates:

• Sept. 30, 2011 -- Student Homecoming Dance
• Oct. 1, 2011 -- Green & Gold Gala, Hotel Captain Cook, UAA Alumni Association
• Oct. 7-8, 2011 -- Kendall Hockey Classic
