UW-Whitewater Homecoming to feature drive-in movie, virtual events

October 08, 2020

Fall traditions at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater are adapting to prioritize the safety of the campus community during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Homecoming Week is scheduled to run Oct. 19-23. Almost all events will be held virtually — including a study night, trivia competition, scavenger hunt, talent show and spirit day.

At 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, a drive-in movie, the Halloween classic “Hocus Pocus,” will be held in Lot. 24 (Perkins Stadium lot). Registration is required and all attendees must follow safety protocols.

This year's Homecoming theme — Warhawks Around the World — celebrates the diverse Warhawk family and the many contributions of our students, faculty, staff and more than 100,000 alumni.

“As a team, we are really excited for this year's theme. The Homecoming Steering Committee wanted to have a theme that could bring together not only our Warhawks in Whitewater, but all around the globe,” said John Dickinson, Homecoming chairperson.
