Homecoming & Alumni Weekend, Nov. 14–16, is just around the corner—and this year promises to be the biggest and most exciting celebration yet. More than 700 alumni are already registered and planning to return to campus, and for many, that means reconnecting with you—the professors, mentors and staff who helped shape their Longwood experience.
Join us for the Lancer Family Tailgate on Saturday, Nov. 15—no registration is required for faculty and staff to attend this event. This fan-favorite BYOB celebration is one of the best opportunities to connect with alumni, students and colleagues while showing your Lancer spirit. More info >>
