The University of Wyoming Alumni Association (UWAA) has announced the winners of the
2025 Homecoming Parade, held Saturday, Oct. 4, as part of UW’s annual Homecoming celebration
sponsored by UniWyo Credit Union.
The “Space Cowboy”-themed parade brought together thousands of alumni, friends and
community members along the streets of Laramie.
The 2025 parade featured UW alumni Julie (Sandberg) Read and Lori (Sandberg) Wobick
as this year’s grand marshals. The sisters, who work for NASA and Boeing, respectively,
were selected to underscore the theme and inspire future generations of Pokes to reach
for the stars.
Parade entries were evaluated on creativity, execution and theme alignment. The winners
are:
Overall winner -- Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Best walking group -- College of Business.
Best use of theme -- UniWyo Credit Union.
