Our Jaguars will experience a week full of fun, excitement, and Jaguar pride! Everyone will be overjoyed and entertained at this year's week of events, as we continue to grow school spirit at UHV.

Homecoming 2025

Greetings Jaguars,

UHV has many great ways to get engaged both on campus and virtually during Homecoming Week 2025 and - "Reaching for the Stars" will be no exception! We are excited to provide fun and meaningful programs this year geared toward students, faculty, staff, alumni and the surrounding community.

Homecoming 2025 will begin Monday, April 21 and end Saturday, April 26. Some of the activities happening throughout the week will include a kickoff event featuring awesome performers, a UHV Alumni Career Panel, the tenth annual Talent Show, and the President's Tailgate and baseball doubleheader where we will crown our 2025 Royal Jaguars.

As your Homecoming Committee Co-Chairs, we are truly honored to spearhead this initiative and offer opportunities for students to engage in person and/or from the comfort of their own home. It is an exciting time to be a student at UHV, as there are many opportunities to leave your mark on campus and in the community. 

We hope that you will come out and participate in all of the many events occurring throughout the week. Be sure to wear your UHV themed gear and show your Jaguar pride!

Thank you in advance for your support and participation in UHV Homecoming 2025.

Go Jags!
