East Stroudsburg University invites alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members to celebrate Homecoming 2019. This year\u2019s theme,\u201cIgnite Your Spirit\u201d, will kindle the warrior spirit at ESU. An exciting weekend packed with activities kicks off on Friday, October 18 with the bonfire and Homecoming Royalty reveal. The bonfire will take place from 8:45 to 9:30 p.m. on the rugby field behind Dansbury Commons. Immediately following the bonfire, the After Dark Park begins with glow in the dark swings, chairs and seesaws and food and games.<\/p>\n
The Alumni Association welcomes back all alumni, including the class of 1969 celebrating their 50 year reunion. All alumni will have the opportunity to participate in a campus bus tour, as well as the annual alumni tailgate. Homecoming activities are not limited to campus, and local businesses in Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg are getting in on the festivities with Paint the Town. Art + Design students from ESU will paint the windows of local businesses to show their warrior spirit.<\/p>\n
