WEEKEND FAQ

What can I expect?
- The schedule includes many of the things you love about past Homecoming & Alumni Weekends, including an epic pre-game tailgate, great entertainment, two action-packed basketball games in the new Joan Perry Brock Center (JPB) and affinity gatherings. But there’s so much more! For those who can only come just for the day, you’re in luck. Many highlights of the weekend will take place on Saturday: our Lancer Family Tailgate, Spirit March to JPB, men’s hardwood matchup, block party and opportunities to reconnect with classmates. While meals and drinks are not included in the cost of registration (other than the Gold Society dinner and drink ticket/food at the Homecoming Kickoff / The GAME Pep Rally on Friday), there will be plenty of dining options on campus and around town for you to enjoy! (Registration fees were kept to a minimum again this year to make the event even more accessible to all alumni and friends.)
What does the cost of registration include?
- Your registration includes an exclusive 2025 Longwood Scarf (distributed only at the women’s basketball game), a 2025-26 season “Go Wood” T-shirt, early access to purchase tickets for all three basketball games before the general public this fall, game-day merch at the tailgate, one drink ticket and food at the kickoff event on Friday, free entry to the Press Club on Thursday and Saturday night (live music), free entry to the LipSync competition on Thursday night, family friendly entertainment on Saturday night, exclusive discount at Sandy River Outdoor Adventures (Nov. 12-15), and discounts at local restaurants (including food trucks at the block party) and shopping spots.
What are affinity and identity gatherings? And if I’m interested in hosting one, whom do I contact?
- Affinity gatherings are a chance for you and fellow alumni to reconnect over shared experiences—whether identity-based or involvement-based. From fraternities and sororities to student government to multicultural organizations, we want you and your friends to reminisce about your life here on campus and the experiences that shaped your journey. Email alumni@longwood.edu to start planning. We’ll assist with communication, scheduling and reserving space on campus.
What type of lodging is available?
- You can find a comprehensive list of places to stay at VisitFarmville.com, and several blocks of rooms have been reserved at area hotels. We worked diligently with each hotel to set reasonable rates, and our hotel partners are eager to host you and your guests. Upon registration, you’ll receive more information about those discounted group rates and offer codes.
Is Homecoming & Alumni Weekend family-friendly? Are kids welcome?
- Absolutely! There will be plenty of activities for children of all ages. The Lancer Family Tailgate on Saturday will give kids plenty of room to work off some energy, including an area with a variety of outdoor games and activities. Young Lancers will also love cheering at the men’s and women’s basketball games in the new Joan Perry Brock Center, soaking up all the school spirit. And Saturday evening caps off with mind-blowing, family-friendly entertainment from illusionist Mike Super!
I’m not a sports fan—should I come to Homecoming & Alumni Weekend?
- Absolutely! The opportunity to experience a game in the impressive Joan Perry Brock Center is something both sports fans and non-sports fans will enjoy. If you decide you’d rather not go to the game, there are still plenty of other activities during the weekend to keep you entertained. You’ll have time to explore and enjoy downtown Farmville. (Spoiler alert: If you haven’t visited in a while, you may be shocked at how much the town has grown.) On Saturday, hang out with family, friends and/or classmates at the Lancer Family Tailgate on campus. Or drop by Greenwood Library to take a stroll down memory lane courtesy of items pulled from the Longwood archives.
How do I register?
- Registration is now open! You can register here—and don’t wait because prices will increase as we get closer to the event.
Whom can I contact if I have more questions?
- Reach out to the Alumni Office at alumni@longwood.edu or (434) 395-2044.
