*Homecoming 2023 is this week!*


With Plattsburgh’s alumni returning to campus October 13 through 15, it is
one of the best times of the year to meet and network with alumni and have
fun with your friends.


Homecoming at SUNY Plattsburgh has long been a time to get together, enjoy
the fall weather, cheer on our sports teams and gather at the annual
bonfire. Additionally, there's a whole lot more going on, and you're
invited!
