Cornellians, let’s paint the Capital Big Red!

Join fellow Cornellians on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for a festive Cornell alumni gathering during Georgetown University’s Homecoming as Cornell takes on the Georgetown Hoyas in DC.

Before kickoff, stop by our dedicated Cornell space to reconnect with old friends, meet fellow alumni and families, and show your Big Red spirit.

There’s a special connection to this year’s Homecoming: newly arrived Georgetown President Eduardo M. Peñalver ’94 is a Cornell alumnus, bringing a little extra Big Red pride to Georgetown’s Homecoming weekend.
