HSU's Homecoming Rolls into Town A tradition that began at Humboldt State in 1924 gets ready for its latest iteration this Saturday when the Lumberjacks square off against the Azusa Pacific Cougars in the 2008 Homecoming Game. A member of HSU’s Marching Lumberjacks cheers on the team during last year’s Homecoming game. HSU Marketing & Communications Gone are the parades down Main Street and flower-covered floats and homecoming queens. In their place are three days of events that offer something for everybody, from parents on their first visit to HSU to alumni returning decades after graduation. “Homecoming is a great opportunity for people to be a part of the community. Not just the campus, but also to see what Eureka and Arcata are about. Most parents come here during orientation so they also miss out on the chance to see some HSU football and to see what our academics are like,” said Meghan Ciuffetelli, director of Student Life. Friday kicks off Family Weekend & Homecoming with a pair of campus tours and a historic walk through Arcata. Faculty members will open their classroom doors allowing parents to get a first-hand view of HSU ’s scholastics. A ribbon cutting for the new $44 million Kinesiology and Athletics Building takes place at 3:30 p.m. An eclectic mix of activities is spread throughout Saturday with the Farmer’s Market and Pastels on the Plaza , starting at 8 a.m. in downtown Arcata.
