The CU Denver community came together for a weeklong celebration of Lynx pride, connection, and belonging as part of Homecoming 2026. This year’s lineup of events and activities included many ways for students, employees, alumni, and their families to experience what makes CU Denver so special, connect with one another, and have fun. Below are a few of our favorite moments from throughout the week.
