Homecoming 2024: Starring the Ragin' Cajuns
The University Program Center Traditions's Borad invites all students and organizations to participate in Homecoming Week 2024 events and festivities! We are rolling out the red carpet the week of November 3-11 for thr biggest show in town — Homecoming Week!
Homecoming Week is the epitome of Ragin' Cajuns pride! Celebrating the sheer awesomeness of UL Lafayette and bringing alumni back to reminisce on the great times they shared is a huge part of Homecoming Week. The University Program Center presents a week of events that inspire students to love their University more and more each day. Kicking off the week with Paint Your Pride window decorating, various student organizations exhibit their artistic talents by depicting Ragin' Cajun scenes from football fields to the Walk of Honor to our beloved fleur-de-lis. Throughout the week, students are able to get free cupcakes at our Cupcake Give Away, show their skills in Cajuns Got Talent, scream at the top of their lungs for the Ragin' Cajuns football team at our Yell Like Hell pep rally, and end the week by cheering on the Ragin' Cajuns at the Homecoming football game. Additionally, the Homecoming Court recognizes outstanding UL Lafayette students and showcases their achievements and contributions to the betterment of the University.

Rules & Regulations:
The Campus Cupboard is an ABC Food Pantry (Anything but Cans). Let's make sure our donations benefit as many people as possible. Items should not be bulk packaged; individual packing or individually sized packages are better (e.g., instead of one 40oz (about 1.18 L) jar of peanut butter benefiting one student, donate four 10oz (about 283.5 g) jars of peanut butter. The same amount of food benefits four students, not just one).

Ramen Noodles
Peanut Butter
