HOMECOMING WEEKEND 2026

What a Homecoming, Hanover! ❤️💙

The tailgate lot was packed, the food trucks were busy, and Panther Village brought alumni, students, and families together on the Quad for live music and plenty of catching up. From class reunions to cheering on the Panthers, it was so good to see campus full of familiar faces.

Thank you to everyone who came back, pitched in, and made Homecoming 2026 such a success. We loved having you home!

📅 Save the date for Saturday, October 30, 2027! We’ll celebrate 200 years of Hanover College, and we can’t wait to share what’s in store for our bicentennial. More to come!

LOOKING AHEAD
