Students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community came together on the Tempe campus Saturday, Nov. 19, to celebrate the culminating events for ASU's Homecoming week — the annual parade, block party and football game.
The parade kicked off at 9 a.m. and featured student organization floats, the ASU Marching Band, colleges, departments, community organizations and more. More than 100 tents were on display at the block party where a range of ASU departments offered fun and educational activities for the whole family.
Following the block party, ASU took on Oregon State at 12:15 p.m. at Sun Devil Stadium, eventually being defeated 31-7.
