Save the date for Northern Arizona University’s Homecoming 2024! What began as a football game has transformed into a week-long extravaganza celebrating our vibrant Lumberjack spirit. Get ready to “Channel the Flannel” as we honor our mascot, Louie, and embrace our mountain town’s cozy vibes. This year will be the 100th Homecoming and a celebration of NAU’s 125th anniversary. Make plans to join us in Flagstaff for this big celebration. More details to come.
