As you all likely know, Winona State made the decision in early August to postpone its Fall 2020 Homecoming celebration originally scheduled for Oct 8-11, 2020. While we were all disappointed, know that it was done out of an abundance of care and concern for the health and safety of our Warrior and Winona communities.<\/p>\n
The university hopes to be able to plan a spring installment of the event, but also acknowledges that it may be out of our control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We promise we will keep you updated on any new decisions made, but in the meantime, make sure you save the date for next fall\u2019s homecoming, scheduled for Oct. 7-10, 2021.<\/p>\n
