With over 2,000 alumni, parents, families, and students registered to attend this year’s combined Homecoming and Family Weekend, there will be a lot of activity across campus. We hope you’ll join in the fun!
Thanks in advance for welcoming these guests to campus for this important weekend! Here are some things you’ll need to know:
Homecoming and Family Weekend registration is located on the first floor of Tutt Library by the Data Viz Wall and in the Edmonds Experimental Classroom (Room 105). Registration is open on Friday from 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
All attendees of the Colorado College 2021 Homecoming and Family Weekend are required to abide by CC’s Public Events Policy. This includes submitting proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test result from within 72 hours of check-in, or proof of infection and recovery from COVID-19 (at least 10 days prior with no symptoms, and no more than 90 days prior to event).
Attendees’ Homecoming and Family Weekend nametags will be their proof of compliance, and will be required to enter any event on campus. (Current students, faculty, and staff may present their active Gold Card, and do not need a HFW nametag.)
Parents, family members, and guests should only be in the residence halls when accompanied by their host student. Each student is allowed up to two guests in their residence hall. Alumni have been instructed not to enter any student residences on campus.
As current students, many of you are pre-registered to attend specific events along with your guests traveling to campus for this weekend. In addition, all students are invited to take part in the many free, non-ticketed events, presentations, and sporting events during the weekend, including the signature events listed below.

“Tiger Talks: CC Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow”
Richard F. Celeste Theatre, Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center
The Colorado College experience spans nearly 150 years. Join faculty, alumni, and students as they explore various aspects of how that experience has changed, and how it remains the same. Anchored by a 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Block Plan presentation by English Professor Steven Hayward, these short talks are sure to inspire your imagination on what CC was, is, and will become. Attend any or all of the talks during the two-hour program.

Opening just in time for Homecoming and Family Weekend, Ed Robson Arena is Colorado College’s multi-purpose, indoor, on-campus competition arena, with the adjacent Mike and Barbara Yalich Student Services Center. We invite all to come celebrate the winning Tiger spirit and the generosity of the CC community which made this new gathering place possible. The pre-game tailgate party will have customer-pay food trucks, entertainment, and live music. Stop by and join the fun before heading over to the student section of Robson Arena for the CC Tigers’ first hockey game of the season against St. Lawrence. Here’s information on picking up student tickets.
