HOMECOMING WEEKEND | October 23–24, 2026

The Point is calling. 🐾

There’s just something about that drive-in, coming through Scenic, seeing the view, and feeling it all hit at once. You know you’re back. You’re home.

We’re excited to welcome alumni, families, students, and friends for a full weekend of connection, celebration, and Panther pride. What started as a simple game day has grown into a full campus experience—and 2026 is shaping up to be a great one.

Tailgating has expanded. Panther Village is moving to the Quad. And there’s more to come.

From class reunions and longtime traditions to new gatherings and familiar faces, it’s a chance to reconnect—with the College and with each other. Make plans to be here. We’ll take care of the rest.
