Hundreds of Guilford College alumni, parents and friends will be on campus for Homecoming & Family Weekend Sept. 20-22, and faculty, staff and students are invited to welcome them back and join the fun.
“Alumni returning for this special weekend are looking forward to reconnecting with one another and to visiting with faculty, staff and students to learn about what’s happening at Guilford today,” says Lauren Reinking, Director of Alumni Relations & Engagement. “We encourage everyone to enjoy the variety of activities that are planned for all ages.”
Registration exceeds 300 with many more people expected to attend four athletic contests in three sports and participate in other events beginning Friday afternoon and running through Sunday morning.
There's no charge for participating in events other than alumni reunion dinners. However, faculty and staff are asked to register along with alumni, parents and friends.
