Alumni Association Homecoming
Homecoming 2024
Welcome Home, Hornets
It’s an exciting time to be a Hornet, and Homecoming 2024 is sure to be filled with memories you will never forget!
Plan to celebrate with your fellow alumni and friends as you step back on campus this fall. Reflect on your cherished memories, rekindle old friendships and forge new connections.
Also, plan to check out the revamped Homecoming Parade as well as celebrate all KSTC alumni with a special recognition for the class of 1974, this year's 50-year reunion class!
This year’s Homecoming will be October 4-5, 2024, and the featured reunion groups include KSTC Alumni, featuring Class of 1974; Emporia Connection; Band/Cheer/Stingers; and Volleyball!
Baseball and Softball Alumni Weekend will be October 11-13, 2024.
