“Homecoming is one of the few opportunities we get as a school to come together and celebrate on campus. We are very lucky to be here, and I think it’s important that we celebrate that,” said Teddy Saull, MSU President. “The Homecoming Expo highlights so many different aspects of the campus community, in addition to our sports team. McMaster musicians, a range of athletes, and a host of different services offered on campus will all be on hand to help celebrate McMaster University”.
