Happy Homecoming, Morgan State University!
Celebrating Our Legacy Together, In Unity and Joy

Welcome home, Bears!

Homecoming at Morgan State University is more than a tradition, it’s a joyful reunion of family, a powerful celebration of our legacy, and a vibrant reminder of the love we share for our National Treasure. Since 1867, Morgan has shaped generations of leaders, dreamers, and changemakers, and each year, this special weekend gives us a chance to reflect, reconnect, and rejoice.

As we gather from near and far, we honor the spirit of excellence that lives in our classrooms, echoes through our stadium, and shines in the hearts of our students and alumni. Whether you're returning for your 50th reunion or experiencing Homecoming for the first time, we are united by the same purpose: to uplift the legacy of Morgan State and carry it forward with pride.

This weekend is about family; past, present, and future. It’s about the laughter shared at the parade, the joy of running into an old friend, the cheers at the game, and the quiet moments of reflection as we walk the campus grounds that helped shape us. We encourage everyone to celebrate safely, treat each other with kindness, and show respect for our beautiful campus and community. Let’s ensure that future generations will always look back on Homecoming as a time of love, legacy, and unity.

So wear your blue and orange with pride. Cheer loudly. Dance freely. And most importantly, cherish every moment.

The Morgan Legacy lives on because of YOU.
 Let’s make this the best Homecoming yet. Stay safe, be kind, and enjoy every minute.

Happy Homecoming, Morgan Family!

In Morgan Spirit,

Morgan State University Homecoming 2025 Update

As we prepare to welcome alumni, students, families, and friends back to campus for Homecoming 2025, the University is sharing important updates to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and well-organized celebration. Please review the following carefully:

Campus Buildings Will Close at 3:00 p.m.
All academic buildings, offices, and student service spaces will close at 3:00 p.m. We encourage students, faculty, and staff to complete on-campus activities by this time so that facilities can be secured in an orderly manner.

All Campus Events Will Conclude at 5:00 p.m.
Homecoming activities—including tailgating, Tent City, and other scheduled events—will end at 5:00 p.m. This coordinated wrap-up helps us maintain a safe and positive experience for everyone. At that time, amplified sound must be turned off, and we ask all guests to begin breaking down tents and equipment to allow for a smooth departure from campus.

Campus to Close at 5:00 p.m.
Starting at 5:00 p.m., the campus will be closed to the public and access will be restricted. The Morgan State University Police Department will secure the grounds. Only pre-approved essential personnel and students who reside in on-campus housing will be permitted to remain.

We appreciate your cooperation as we take these steps to prioritize the safety and well-being of our community. Thank you for helping us make Homecoming 2025 a spirited and memorable occasion for all.
