The University of Houston Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced that the Oct. 22 football game vs. Marshall has been selected to celebrate the school's 66th Homecoming. Game time and television have yet to be determined.
"Homecoming is one of the greatest traditions for any University and the mid-October date is a perfect time to return to the Houston campus," said Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades. "It is always important to have our alumni back to visit UH and see all the improvements and changes that have taken place over the years.
"This University of Houston is only as successful as its past and current students," Rhoades added. "We know that once the alumni see Dr. Khator's vision for this University, the pride for their alma mater will grow immensely."
The official schedule for the 2011 UH Homecoming will be released in early June however, the University of Houston Alumni Association, the University Administration and the Athletic Department have many special activities planned to draw alumni and their families back to campus. The UHAA will be hosting a number of events on campus during Homecoming 2011 including class reunions for the graduating classes of 2001 and 1986. Events for the 10 and 25 year reunions will be posted on the UHAA website, www.houstonalumni.com in the beginning of June.
"Homecoming is a time of reminding our alumni of the special time they had while they were here at UH and we hope that some of the events that we have planned will make this a memorable event for them," said Mike Pede, UHAA President.
