Homecoming
Homecoming 2023
We are starting to plan for Homecoming 2023. Mark your calendars for September 14-17 and join us for four days of fun, fellowship, reunions and more! Reunite with friends, former classmates and faculty as you tour the campus, take in exciting Bobcats action, and enjoy the many Homecoming events.
This will be a great year to attend Homecoming as we celebrate with new events and returning favourites. Brandon University and Brandon College alumni and friends from every year are welcome back for Homecoming. We are linked by the experiences we shared and the bonds we forged at Brandon College and Brandon University.
New Dates
The Alumni Association has decided to move Homecoming up by a month to September. We’re looking for some nicer weather and the ability to do more outdoor events. We hope to see you for the weekend of September 14-17 for Homecoming 2023!
You’re invited
All alumni are invited to Homecoming, as well as their family and friends. Every year we also welcome former faculty members, staff, and the broader community. Check out the full schedule of events!
Terry Fox Run
The Terry Fox Run is coming to Brandon University this September! It will take place Sunday, Sept. 17, as one of the concluding events at BU Homecoming.
One of Canada’s largest and most beloved annual fundraising events, the Terry Fox Run has raised more than $850 million dollars for the fight against cancer since Fox launched his epic Marathon of Hope in 1980. Register, join a team, or donate at TerryFox.org/Terry-Fox-Run. A direct link to the Brandon race is https://run.terryfox.ca/29158
Class and faculty reunions
Homecoming 2023 will be a milestone reunion for many of our alumni. We’re especially thrilled to mark the 60th anniversary of the Brandon University Class of 1963, and the 50th anniversary of the Brandon University Class of 1973. We are also marking special anniversary years for everyone who graduated in a class year that ends in -3 or -8.
We are also hearing from alumni interested in planning special reunions. If you’re interested in participating in a reunion of anything from Music to Mathematics, from BUSU to The Quill, reach out and learn how we can support your efforts to connect and reunite.
Events
Class reunions
There’s still time! Looking to re-connect and renew the friendships that made your time at BU so memorable? Contact the BU Alumni Office at alumni@brandonu.ca for more information.
Virtual tour
Working with eBrandon, we created 360-degree virtual tours to help you explore the entire BU campus.
Research Connection
An important part of Brandon University is the research we do here — much of which is focused on Brandon and Westman in a way that no other institution does.
Bobcats matches
Our BU Bobcats soccer squads will be in action — and you can watch a LIVE stream on YouTube. Cheer on the ’Cats and show your pride from anywhere in the world.
Connect with fellow alumni
The BU Office of Advancement and Alumni Affairs, along with the Brandon University Alumni Association, help build and strengthen connections with your alma mater. We’re proud of all that our alumni have accomplished and love to share it! Learn more on the BU Alumni web page at BrandonU.ca/Alumni.

Alumni Awards
All BU alumni are part of a special group, and every year at Homecoming we pause to honour a few who truly stand out. Help us by nominating alumni who deserve recognition for their exceptional accomplishments, in their careers, in their communities, and in their lives.
