WELCOME
Welcome, Class of 2001!
Come back to campus for a Homecoming Saturday packed with activity and energy—from Coffee & Connections and tailgating to the Harlan Hubbard presentation, Greek gatherings and building open houses, and of course, the football game. In the middle of it all, make your way to Panther Village—now on the Quad—where everything comes together. Stop by and look for the 25-Year Reunion banner—your go-to spot for food, fun, and catching up with classmates. With Panther Village at the heart of the action, you’ll find plenty of space to gather, relax, and stay awhile. Enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere with music, bounce houses, cornhole, and more—all with the kind of energy that makes you want to hang out all day. Registration opens in July—we can’t wait to have you back.
