‘Cheers to 100 Years!’ theme for 2023 UW Homecoming

The University of Wyoming has announced the theme of  “Cheers to 100 Years!” celebrating 100 years of Homecoming at UW. Events are scheduled Sept. 25-30.

According to the University, this year’s Homecoming lineup will include a “Tribute to Steamboat,” an event that features rodeo-related activities and swing dancing at the Cliff and Martha Hansen Livestock Teaching Arena. Steamboat is Wyoming’s well-known bucking horse — the bucking bronc and rider mark is the symbol of Wyoming seen on the state’s license plates and the official UW logo.

A new event, the Legacy Lunch, will be introduced along with the annual Cowboy Coffee gathering, the parade and other activities. The week will conclude with the UW Cowboys football team facing the New Mexico Lobos in War Memorial Stadium Saturday, Sept. 30. Game time will be announced later.

“We are excited to celebrate 100 years of Homecoming this fall,” UW Alumni Association (UWAA) Executive Director Jack Tennant said. “We will be continuing the Tribute to Steamboat started last year and launching another new event, Legacy Lunch, to celebrate alumni with current UW students who have made UW a family tradition. We can’t wait to see alumni back on campus.”
