Homecoming Steering Committee

The Homecoming Steering Committee as we know it today was organized in 1961. The committee is comprised of students and advisors who plan and coordinate the all-university Homecoming activities. The committee works in conjunction with the Alumni Association to ensure successful events that involve students, faculty/staff, alumni, and the entire Muncie community.
