Homecoming 2025

 

Homecoming 2025 is here, and it’s going to be one for the ages. From the Battle of Jefferson Street and the joy of the Parade to heartfelt reunions and the energy of Yard Fest, this week is all about coming together—alumni, students, faculty, and friends—to celebrate the legacy, love, and strength that is Fisk.

Mark your calendars. Bring your stories. Lace up your sneakers. This November, we don’t just return—we rise. Homecoming 2025 will be the loudest, proudest, and most unforgettable chapter yet. #FiskForever
