Emory students, alumni, staff and faculty came together last week to celebrate Homecoming with a full slate of concerts, events and activities.

Student-led Homecoming activities took place throughout the week with the “Swoop’s Streets” theme, with events for families and alumni focused on Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, Oct. 21-23.

On Friday, Oct. 22, students, faculty and staff gathered on the Quad to help kick off 2O36, Emory's campaign focused on investing in people for the benefit of people. The fun for all continued on Saturday with the Homecoming Parade around campus and the Homecoming Festival and Concert on the Quad, featuring performances by Yacht Rock Schooner, Lennon Stella and headlining act Black Pumas.
