Homecoming is oct. 5-7, 2023.

At the heart of Northwestern traditions is the homecom event. The Alva community, Northwestern alumni, current students,  faculty  and staff, as well as prospective students and bands from surrounding areas join in celebrating the Ranger family. Homecoming events such as the Miss Cinderella Pageant for high school senior females, the homecoming parade, band and parade float competitions, Ranger Royalty, and more are all funded strictly through the purchase of Northwestern’s annual themed homecoming button.

The annual Homecoming Celebration for Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva brings alumni and visitors to town each spring during football season. Personnel from Northwestern and leaders in the community join forces to plan the celebration months in advance.

Each year's homecoming seeks to honor the traditions of the past and the heritage of northwest Oklahoma, offering entertainment features that are continued from year to year, but seeking to make each year's schedule unique. Many of those working on homecoming have been involved in its production for several years; others are newcomers to the project this year. All work together to make it a success and a source of pride to everyone in this part of the state.
