Homecoming is a time of celebration for everyone associated with the Capstone. As partners in our community, there are several ways that you can connect to the UA Homecoming spirit and experience!
UA Students and Student Organizations
The UA Student Homecoming Board offers two Homecoming divisions: the Crimson Division and the Tide Division.
The Crimson Division is open to any student organization or group of student organizations at UA. Teams participate in up to 10 events.
The Tide Division is ideal for medium to small organizations, individuals, affinity groups, classes, UA programs, or any group of students wanting to compete in fewer events.
Faculty, Staff and Departments
As a faculty/staff member or UA department, there are several ways that you can connect to the Homecoming Spirit.
We encourage departments to participate in the Roll Tide Run as teams or have members of your department participate in the Canvas Competition. In addition to participating in these fun events, we encourage faculty and staff to experience the Homecoming parade, step show and choreography contest with family and loved ones.
If you are a staff member who would be interested in serving as a judge for our homecoming events, contact our Homecoming Executive Director at uahomecoming@ua.edu.
Local Businesses and Schools
Are you a local business or school who would like to participate in the Homecoming Experience at The University of Alabama? The Parade is a great way for local businesses and schools to participate in the Homecoming experience with as a float, car, walking group or band/performance group.
In the spirit of connecting the UA campus to the Tuscaloosa/Northport community, we invite your business or school to partake in Paint The Town Red. Student organizations who are vying for the Kathleen Cramer Cup or Tide Trophy bragging rights are assigned to paint Homecoming Theme related murals on local business/school windows. For your participation, you are provided with recognition as a Homecoming week participant and receive free window cleaning after the event. If you want to show your UA pride, then participate in this great opportunity to showcase our student art and to be a part off the homecoming action!
