Homecoming & Family Weekend would not feel the same without the parade around Harborside Village where student organizations, residence halls and athletic teams proudly display their Wildcat Pride.

Following the parade, the rest of the afternoon was filled with culinary demonstrations in the Cuisinart Center for Culinary Excellence, pumpkin painting, food trucks, the Wildcat Tailgate and multiple athletic events. Families were then treated to an evening of bingo and karaoke in the Wildcat Center.

Sunday morning offered families a final opportunity to unwind. A pop-up style brunch prepared by JWU culinary students was the perfect way to leave families with a lasting memory of an eventful weekend.
