Waynesburg University is welcoming alumni, staff, faculty and students to its annual Homecoming celebration Friday, Oct. 2, and Saturday, Oct. 3.

The weekend will include a variety of events that invite participation from alumni and current students.

“We want our alumni to feel special from the moment they step on campus to the last event,” said Mary Fox, event planner for the university. “For over 160 years, our alumni have been crucial to the growth of Waynesburg University. This weekend is just one of the ways we honor them.”

During the two-day celebration, alumni will be invited to participate in athletic events, a reception with President and Mrs. Douglas G. Lee, a 5K run and walk, campus tours and more. Alumni will also have the opportunity to reconnect with nine academic and affinity groups, the largest number of groups present at Homecoming to date, in addition to 11 class reunions.

Current students, along with staff and faculty, will also join the celebration at athletic events and Jacketfest, where any student club or organization can host a booth

“There are more ways than ever before for students to get involved,” Fox said. “Our alumni so often express how much they enjoy meeting current students while they are on campus.”
