Join the ICS Homecoming Celebrations!
Get ready for the ultimate Anteater celebration! This year’s Homecoming is extra special as we honor UC Irvine’s 60th anniversary. Join us on Saturday, February 28, for an exclusive ICS alumni lunch followed by a discussion on how AI is reshaping our world, led by Professor Bill Tomlinson.
From 3 PM, the Homecoming Block Party takes over Mesa Road with carnival games, festival food, live performances, a pep rally, fireworks, and UCI Men’s Basketball taking on UCSB.
Plus, this year’s celebration will be even bigger with an expanded weekend lineup, including campus experiences, family activities and special alumni gatherings.
