The Homecoming 2007 weekend kicks off with the Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner at Rachel's Lakeside, Westport, and the Young UMass Dartmouth Alumni & Zero Year reunion at the Campus Pub.
The fun continues on Saturday. Take in the Ring Road parade; reconnect with old friends; enjoy the food and live music; watch the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen while attending the football game against Nichols College; or tour the region, which will have plenty of autumn color.
