The Pack is more connected than ever as Lobos have redefined how and where they can work, learn and connect. Last year, Lobos were connected by the unexpected and this year they are unmuted—reigniting the Lobo spirt in all of us. With Homecoming less than a month away, The University of New Mexico Alumni Association has planned events that include Lobos gathering safely to connect and have some long-awaited fun.

UNM Homecoming 2021 features a great lineup of events, many of which you can participate in from anywhere — nationwide! Get ready to celebrate Lobo pride during Homecoming Week: Saturday, Oct. 30 through Saturday, Nov. 6.
