Penn State World Campus students, alumni, staff, and faculty celebrated Penn State's 2024 Homecoming during the week of September 22–28.
The World Campus student-run Homecoming committee organized a variety of virtual and in-person events at the University Park campus. The 2024 court was recognized during a ceremony on September 27, and the students received sashes and flowers. Court members attended in-person and online from across the globe.
The 2024 court members are:

During the ceremony, undergraduate student Angela Gulotta received the "For the Glory" award, which recognizes one court member for going above and beyond in their passion for academics, student involvement, leadership, service, and embodiment of the Penn State values.
Later that day, the Homecoming court, committee, and Penn State World Campus supporters participated in the University's annual Homecoming Parade.
On Saturday, the Penn State World Campus Student Government Association hosted a tailgate before Penn State's 21-7 win over the University of Illinois. Penn State World Campus community members enjoyed sitting together inside Beaver Stadium during the game.
The World Campus Homecoming committee is one of the clubs and organizations that Penn State students can join to become a part of the World Campus community. The annual Penn State Homecoming celebration is one of the major University events that World Campus students participate in each year.
