Homecoming 2026

Join us in the Touhill - Lee Theater for a movie night with UPB!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Kick-off our Homecoming festivities with a bowl of homemade chili with recipes created by our very own UMSL faculty. You will have the opportunity to sample 5 chili recipes. Taste carefully! You must vote for your favorite chili entry to select the winner of the Golden Ladle Award.

Free haircuts for all UMSL and community members. No appointments needed, just walk-in and be seen by one of the five St. Louis local hair professionals.

Join us for the Trailblazers Awards Ceremony, a celebration of visionaries, innovators, and dedicated partners who help shape the future of our university community.

As key elements of the Transform UMSL Initiative are coming into focus, it is in this spirit of transformation that we are taking the opportunity to expand the university's annual Trailblazers Awards to embrace the outstanding contributions of all individuals who have had a significant, positive impact on the university.

Dive into a sea of talent at Triton's Got Talent, where the spotlight shines on the extraordinary skills and creativity within our community!

Light refreshments and free messages will be available. Check Triton Connect for more details on how to participate.

Cheer on the UMSL Tritons basketball teams as they take on the Truman State Tigers.
