Homecoming is a chance for WCU students, past and present, to join together in the spirit of camaraderie and commonality. Each year, Homecoming presents several events to the community including a Homecoming Parade in Sylva, the Homecoming football game, a Spirit Night the previous evening, and competitive events for current students.
