Homecoming 2026 Theme

FVSU Is ALL THAT

Inspired by the 90s/2000s, this year's homecoming theme, “All That”, celebrates the energy, creativity, talent and personality that makes FVSU Homecoming an experience like no other.

This year, we’re celebrating ALL THAT the traditions that bring us together, the Wildcats who continue to make their mark, the music and memories that define the experience and the pride that connects generations of the FVSU family.

From campus to the community, from our students to our alumni, FVSU is ALL THAT.
