As alumni gravitate back to their alma mater this weekend and undergraduates preoccupy themselves over the best tailgate food and beverages, Cornell’s annual homecoming weekend will see the addition of another Big Red tradition. For the first time in a number of years, the University will host a homecoming parade.

Sponsored and funded by the Office of Alumni Affairs, the parade marks the return of a tradition last observed in the ’90s. Student organizations, from the Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Teams to the Cayuga’s Waiters a cappella group to the Student Assembly will march across campus in honor of the football team’s match against Fordham University.
