2025 Homecoming Spirit Week + Events

No need to change—just bring your comfiest, coziest self to campus! Whether you're rocking matching PJs, fuzzy slippers, or your favorite oversized hoodie, Pajama Day is all about comfort and Cougar pride.

Faculty, staff, and students are all invited to hit snooze on the dress code and dream big together.

Join us in wearing orange to honor the survivors of residential and boarding schools, remember those who did not return home, and recognize the ongoing impact of colonization on Indigenous communities.

Observed as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Orange Shirt Day invites all students, faculty, and staff to reflect, learn, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples.

Wearing orange is a simple but powerful act of remembrance and a commitment to truth, healing, and justice. 🧡

Get ready to join CAC for another exciting round of Ready, Teddy, Go! This Homecoming Edition is free for UMN students. Students can choose an animal to stuff with love, each dressed in a 2025 Homecoming shirt. You can even pick up a free matching shirt for yourself!
(ONE PER STUDENT)

Whether you’re spooky, silly, sparkly, or surreal—Costume Day is your time to shine! Show off your creativity and dress up as your favorite character, pun, or alter ego. Faculty, staff, and students are all invited to bring the spirit to campus.

Be bold, be respectful, and most of all—have fun! Costumes should celebrate creativity, not cultures, and should be appropriate for our shared learning environment.
