Homecoming 2021 Together We Rise

This year’s 2021 Homecoming theme is “Together We Rise”, which speaks to us recognizing the collective spirit of the tide through alumni, current students, and beyond in making UA a great place to be! The spirit of the tide is a force that collectively grows through our united excellence. We see homecoming as a time to explore our mission and the victories and growth that have moved us forward.

 The week will begin with the 33rd Annual Roll Tide Run and conclude with the crowning of the 2021 Homecoming Queen during halftime of the Alabama vs. Tennessee football game. We hope that this year will be full of excitement, spirit, and student participation from the entire campus.

It's time to roll up our sleeves, UA.

the rising tide

We are each like drops of water, limited in what we can accomplish on our own. But, together, we are collected in The University of Alabama’s rising tide. This is a wave that begins deep within, a roar that resounds in us all, the Roll Tide that crescendos through time, the mighty voice of one body.
This is The Rising Tide.

Together, we will surge forward to achieve a historic $1.5 billion fundraising goal to elevate all areas of campus while adding 1,000 new endowed scholarships and 75 new faculty endowments. It will impact more than 500,000 square feet of space across campus. And, through the Crimson Standard, The Rising Tide will raise more than $600 million for Athletics.
Join The Rising Tide.

Leaders. Innovators. Legends.
