Homecoming 2024

 

Homecoming is a great time for alumni to return to the campus they once called home, reconnect with former classmates and revisit traditions you know and love. 这是一个特殊的时间在一个特殊的地方.

For 2024, we're excited to offer an in-person format for Homecoming on the Plainview campus as well as some virtual offerings for those who cannot make the trip to reminisce in person. This includes both some livestream opportunities and some on-demand events.

计划在校园里加入我们, then reach out to your classmates and invite them to join you for a great weekend of reminiscing and reconnecting! 没有地方比得上家!
