CWA Homecoming & Alumni Weekend 2025

Update #1 - 21 days ago

Hello Tarriers! We cannot wait to see you this weekend! Below you can find a few updates in preparation for this weekend:

  • The weather is looking a little unpredictable. Have no fear, we will have green poncho’s available should you forget yours at home.
  • A full itinerary of events has been added to the event page for your reference! Check out all the fun activities we have planned for this year’s Homecoming!
  • Due to the weather, we have combined the Beer Garden and Alumni Tent experience into one. The Beer Garden will be on the Haertl Field track and will be open from 4p.m. through the end of the Football game. Alcoholic beverages will be served until 8:30pm with a 4 beverage limit!

We look forward to welcoming you back to campus and if you have any questions or if your plans have changed, feel free to email [email protected] to let us know.

Sincerely,

The CWA Development & Alumni Relations Team
