Get ready — Homecoming Week officially begins right here in the Student Center!
Grab a cup of coffee and a sweet treat from the ARC Oak Café Bakery, bring your Beaver pride (and maybe your slippers), and jump into a morning packed with energy, connection, and giveaways — all happening within steps of each other.
Featured Activities
Area Decorating Contest Kickoff (Various Locations)
Nothing says Homecoming like a little friendly competition!
Departments and offices are invited to deck out their spaces around this year’s theme — “70 Years of ARC.” Start decorating anytime this week to help campus come alive with color, memories, and Beaver pride.
Judging happens Tuesday–Friday, and winners will be announced at the end of the week!
Campus-Wide Scavenger Hunt Kickoff (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM : Student Center)
The adventure begins! Pick up your first clue at the Student Center and explore ARC like never before.
Follow the digital trail, scan QR codes, discover hidden gems, and see how much you really know about your college.
Complete the hunt for a chance to win awesome prizes — and bragging rights as ARC’s ultimate explorer.
Bucky’s Belonging Wall (10:00 a.m., UNITE Center Windows)
Every Beaver has a story — and this is your space to share it. Add your message, reflection, or doodle to Bucky’s Belonging Wall, a growing collage of what makes ARC feel like home. By week’s end, it’ll be filled with hundreds of voices reminding us all: You Belong Here.
Passport Kickoff (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM : Student Center)
Grab your Homecoming Passport and collect stickers as you attend events all week long.
Fill at least half your passport to enter the raffle for great prizes — and let it be your souvenir of a week filled with connection, laughter, and ARC pride.
Clay Creations (2:30–3:30 p.m., Location TBD)
After a day of exploring and connecting, slow down and create something meaningful.
Join this hands-on art session to craft, relax, and connect with fellow Beavers.
Space is limited to 30 participants — sign-up details coming soon!
Throughout the day, the Student Center will be buzzing with coffee, treats, laughter, and plenty of Beaver spirit. Stop by, stay a while, and help us kick off Homecoming Week with warmth, pride, and community — because this is where you belong.
