Homecoming 2025 has passed. Our thanks to all who participated!
Calling All Spartans, Past and Present!
Homecoming is an annual tradition that unites students, alumni, faculty, and staff in celebrating our institution’s rich history and achievements. This week-long event will feature various activities for all Spartans. Alumni will have the chance to reconnect with old friends and classmates while reminiscing about their time at USC Upstate.
Homecoming is an excellent opportunity to showcase school spirit and pride in our academic and athletic accomplishments. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to campus and create new memories together during this exciting week. Join us for Homecoming and experience the camaraderie and passion that makes our institution truly special!
