One College. 60 Years of Success.

For the first time in our 60-year history, CCAC is hosting an official Homecoming—and we're inviting the entire region to be a part of it!

For one spectacular September day, we are closing Ridge Avenue and Allegheny Commons to transform the Northside Main Campus into a massive, one-of-a-kind outdoor festival. Whether you're a current student, a proud CCAC graduate, or a member of the wider community, it's time to experience the college like never before. The festival will include:

  • Free, live performances & entertainment
  • Food & merchandise vendors
  • CCAC campus tours & exhibitions
  • Contests & giveaways

Students, alumni, neighbors—come on home!
