HOMECOMING AND HALL OF FAME 2022 IS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8!
Join us back at Brandeis for the best weekend of the year! Our celebration of Brandeis Athletics will feature men's and women's UAA soccer matches, Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, and family fun!
In addition to individual team alumni events happening throughout the weekend, Saturday's festivities will begin at 11am with our varsity soccer match vs Carnegie Mellon. There will be a beer garden, food trucks, petting zoo, bounce house, and more next to the soccer field. We invite all alumni, campus community members, families and friends to join us and reconnect.
Homecoming will be highlighted by our 21st Joseph M. Linsey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, where we will be inducting four legendary former head coaches. The ceremony will take place on campus from 5-7pm. Early registration tickets for the Hall of Fame are $100, with a discounted rate of $75 for young alumni from the last six years. Kids 12 and under enter FREE. Hall of Fame tickets include heavy hors d'oeuvres and beer & wine.
We will cap off the evening with a post-Homecoming afterparty from 7-10pm. All Homecoming attendees are encouraged to join, regardless if you are attending the Hall of Fame Ceremony. Early registration tickets are $25, and include beer & wine and light appetizers. Additionally, if you purchase a ticket for the Hall of Fame, you receive FREE entry to the Afterparty event.
PLEASE NOTE: The venue for the Hall of Fame Ceremony and Afterparty has changed to Levin Ballroom. The event will no longer be held in Gosman Sports Center.
