Things are getting a little wild at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. From October 13- 18 the university will be hosting its Homecoming week. This year’s theme “Wild, Wild Warriors,” is rounding up the crowd for a week packed with activities. Homecoming highlights include a chuck wagon picnic to kick off the week, a fall festival, a Warrior bonfire and a home football game against the Millersville University Marauders on October 17. This year’s Homecoming festivities branch outside of campus and into the community, with 22 businesses in Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg participating in a Paint the Town competition.
All activities listed below are open to the public at no cost unless otherwise stated, and the schedule is subject to change as more events are added. For more information on any of the homecoming events listed below, please contact Valentina Caval, public relations manager, at 570-422-3139 or visit esu.edu/homecoming.
