Captain Committees

Homecoming Captains are instrumental in the organization and execution of Homecoming, leading a team of students in 13 committees including Alumni Relations, Public Relations, University Relations, and OPPerations. Each Captain has specific duties within the Committee. These committees work together to execute more than 10 different Homecoming events throughout the year.

Committee Members

In addition to Homecoming’s 13 Captain Committees, there are opportunities for students to get involved as a committee members. Committee members assist in Homecoming events and are vital to the success of Penn State’s Homecoming celebration. Students can get involved with Merchandise, OPPerations, or the University Relations Involvement committee. Students also can apply to emcee all events throughout the year, including the parade at the end of Homecoming week.
