Welcome to BYU Today's Homecoming edition! Whether in person or in spirit, we hope you will join us next week to celebrate BYU and reflect on how this place changed you for good. See below for a few ways and reasons to light the Y. Go Cougs! —Amy Kunz Fennegan (BA '94), Alumni President

How can students and alumni cram the best of BYU into five days? Take it one day at a time. Start with Tuesday's opening ceremonies, then hike and light the Y. Dive into blue foam on Wednesday. Hear award winners speak on Thursday, then hit a reunion and watch the game on Friday. On Saturday, run a 5K or catch the parade before enjoying Spectacular. Want more? Here's the complete schedule. Or just reminisce with the 2015 Homecoming highlights video.
