HOMECOMING & ALUMNI WEEKEND

A celebration that will capture the camaraderie and joy of Alumni Weekend and pair it with the energy and beauty of Longwood in the fall.

It’s the thrill of the first game in a sparkling new arena. It’s fall on campus, just as beautiful as you remember. It’s good food, great music and best friends.
