CALENDAR OF EVENTS OCT. 15-18

This fall, Oregon State University is packing all the Homecoming spirit and Parent and Family Weekend fun into ONE unforgettable weekend: Oct. 15–18, 2026.

Join Beaver Nation in Corvallis for a blend of cherished traditions and new beginnings, where you'll find inspiration, laughter and the embrace of a community that stands the test of time. See how the campus has changed and reminisce about the things that are exactly the same as you remember. Most importantly, reconnect with the people and places that made OSU home.
