What is Homecoming?
This is a day to celebrate Dean College - for families to get an inside look at life at Dean, for alumni to reminisce about their experiences, share their alma mater with their families and make new memories! Unless noted, all activities are open to everyone, of all ages.

Where do I park?

We highly encourage the use of the shuttle. The shuttle will be available from both the Student Center Parking Lot and the Dean Hall Parking Lot.
