NDSU Homecoming Week begins with pep fest & ice cream social

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – A pep fest and ice cream social kicks off Homecoming Week at NDSU.

The Gold Star Marching Band, cheer team, university staff and Football Coach Matt Entz enjoyed a treat while showcasing Bison Pride in front of Putnam Hall.

Even though a lot of people think about football when they hear homecoming, the week is also about community service, showcasing history and, of course, plenty of green and yellow.

University staff say a pep rally and ice cream is a perfect way to start the school week.

“This is, I think, one of my favorite events for homecoming. It is a great way for the campus to come together at the very beginning of the week,” NDSU Director of Student Activities Dr. Lisa Samuelson, P.h.D. said.

“Homecoming Week is, in general, a great opportunity for alumni, friends of the university, students, faculty, staff to come together. It really is a community event,” NDSU Foundation Senior Director of Events Nicole Holden
