Preparing for Beloiter Days

Students checking out pumpkins at the Beloit Farmer's Market.Be sure to check out the Beloit Farmer’s Market in the coming weeks. The market is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays through the end of October.

Get ready! Beloiter Days, our combined homecoming and reunion extravaganza, is taking place later this weekend, Friday through Sunday. 

Expect to see many more Beloiters on campus, including alumni, family, and friends. You may meet them in a class, in Commons, at the Homecoming Tailgate, or just around campus. We encourage you to take some time to talk and connect with your fellow Beloiters.

You can also join the Psychology Department in celebrating 100 years at Beloit. The PSYCentennial Celebration series kicks off this weekend with a meet and greet and informal luncheon with psychology alumni, faculty, and current students. There will be plenty of opportunities for campus and visitors to learn more about the department’s history and connect with current faculty and students.

Check out the Beloiter Days schedule to see what’s happening. While some of the events are for specific audiences, many are open for campus to also attend and participate.
