College homecoming weeks are usually associated with football. But, a Ventura County university which doesn’t have a football team has decided it will have its first ever homecoming week.
Cal State Channel Islands is hosting a six day long celebration starting Monday (October 21), to welcome alumni back to the 22-year-old Camarillo campus.
There’s going to be a pep rally, a food festival, a block party, a concert, and even an appearance by a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member.
It kicks off with a pep rally at 11 a.m. Monday, featuring a parade of decorated golf carts. There are events every day of the week.
On Friday night, SNL’s Jay Pharoah will be part of a free comedy show in the university’s Grand Salon. And on Saturday, a street fair will feature a performance by the rock band Ozomatli.
