Ready, Set....Hunt!

Another new addition to the Homecoming events schedule this year is a University wide scavenger hunt. This event is no normal scavenger hunt, however! It is much more than just a search for random objects. It is an exciting and unique activity that combines trivia, a treasure hunt and fun challenges around campus! The event will let teams of University of Minnesota students, staff and alumni explore the campus and help celebrate an additional day of Homecoming this year, as the scavenger hunt will take place on Sunday, October 4th.
