Orange Central is the once-a-year homecoming and reunion celebration for members of the Orange community everywhere. ϲ alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends come together to enjoy dozens of activities, from lectures and panel discussions to campus tours, performances, and social and athletic events.

Visitors can get their tickets to watch the men’s football team go head-to-head with North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 20, in the Carrier Dome. Tickets will be available for purchase through Orange Central registration, which opens later this year.

For students, it’s the perfect time to show their Orange pride and enjoy a week filled with SU traditions hosted by the Traditions Commission. Check out regularly to view updates.

Also in October, family members are invited to campus to see a sampling of life at ϲ.
