This year will be the first homecoming outdoor movie at Bulldog Stadium since 2019.
If homecoming week feels extra special this year, perhaps it’s because the majority of Fresno State students, faculty and staff are physically back on campus — in person — and ready to show off their Bulldog spirit. And the fact that the week culminates with a big Fresno State football game with Mountain West title implications doesn’t hurt either.
“We are thrilled to have homecoming return to the Fresno State campus this year,” said Dr. Colin Stewart, associate dean of Student Involvement. “We know how powerful it is when we can come together to celebrate the Bulldog spirit, and we couldn’t be more excited for our students, our community and our alumni to experience the various activities this year.”
The Bulldog Shop, the Fresno State Winery and Gibson Farm Market will each be offering special homecoming discounts on products and apparel.
Activities kicked off for the campus community on Monday, Oct. 18, and will continue throughout the week:
