This year’s Homecoming added a level of excitement to the beginning of the fall semester. Check out the week’s photos.
The Homecoming Tailgate featured lawn games, grilling and fun with campus celebrity Bruce the Goose. After the tailgate, fans saw their Dearborn Wolverine volleyball team beat Calumet College of St. Joseph 3-0.
The maize and blue popcorn at Maize Fest was a hit — and the sun added a bit of razzle dazzle sparkle.
Ten teams raced across Chancellor’s Pond during the cardboard boat races and the Society of Women’s Engineers emerged victorious.
More than 70 competitors came out to the new pickleball courts near the Fieldhouse for campus’ first-ever pickleball tournament. Here, Chancellor Domenico Grasso returns a volley to the opposing team. If you want to play pickleball, bring your own gear or check paddles and a ball out at the Fieldhouse's lower level. Just bring your MCard.
