USI Homecoming to celebrate The Screaming Twenties first week of February

The University of Southern Indiana will host its 2025 Homecoming Week, featuring a variety of events for USI students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and families to enjoy Friday through Saturday, February 1-8.   

The 2025 theme, Homecoming: The Screaming Twenties, is a play on the Roaring Twenties. Events include the first annual Homecoming Day of Service, Casino Night, a Homecoming Student-Athlete Panel and much more. A full list of activities is available on the Homecoming website. 

On Saturday, February 8, USI Women’s and Men’s Basketball will take on Southeast Missouri State University. Games will begin at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. respectively. A Coronation Ceremony recognizing 13 USI students selected for the 2025 Homecoming Court will take place during halftime of the USI Men’s Basketball game. Two Homecoming Majesties will be crowned at the Ceremony.  

During both basketball games, Alumni Engagement and Volunteer USI will have two photo booth opportunities for fans to enjoy throughout the Arena, as well as face painting and caricature portraits. A table will be set up at the entrance of the Arena for guests to claim a free popcorn voucher and spirit gear.  

"Homecoming is a chance for our students, alumni and community to participate and contribute to an ongoing development of tradition and history on our campus. Being a younger institution, we are uniquely positioned to bring people together—from the first graduates of USI all the way to the next generation of Screaming Eagles yet to come,” says Allison Weihe, Assistant Director of Student Activities and Traditions. “We invite everyone to come back home to celebrate the University’s history, accomplishments, and promising future by participating in events like our Homecoming Day of Service and by supporting our incredible student-athletes at the Homecoming games. Go Screagles!"
