The rich history and bright future of Bucknell is something we can all celebrate. The Center for Alumni & Family Engagement brings students, alumni, parents and families together to network, socialize and celebrate as one during our annual Homecoming & Family Weekend.

The on-campus experience features all your favorite Bucknell traditions. From student performances and shows to affinity gatherings and the tailgate and Homecoming football game, there is never a shortage of reasons to 'ray.
