Dust off those platform shoes and Members Only jackets. The 1970s and 1980s are back this year for Flashback Homecoming! That means plenty of great retro music and warm EMU memories – old and new. The weeklong celebration begins Sunday, Oct. 21, and builds up to the big football game Saturday, Oct. 27, when the Eagles kick off against the Western Michigan Broncos, 3:30 p.m. at Rynearson Stadium.
Pre-game tailgates include the Eagles' Landing Tailgate from noon to 3:30 p.m. at Oestrike Stadium and the “Flashback” Alumni Tailgate presented by WNIC – known for its flashback weekends at 100.3 FM – from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on the west side of Rynearson Stadium. For details regarding tailgates, reunions and all activities, check out the complete schedule of events.
Also integrated into the Homecoming celebration this year are two other EMU mainstays: Explore Eastern and Family Day. Homecoming is also about giving back to the community with our Disco Drive to raise donations for Food Gatherers, which works to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in Washtenaw County.
So, whether you were into disco or new wave, or barely remember either, it’s all part of the fun. We look forward to you joining us on campus this year – and don’t forget your dancing shoes!
