Homecoming 2015 Schedule
Filled with events and activities, homecoming weekend will bring alumni back to their alma mater to remember and celebrate their years at MVNU.
Starting early Friday morning on November 13th and ending the evening of Saturday 14th students should expect to welcome alumni of all classes back to their old stomping grounds.
In years past homecoming has proven to be a great opportunity for alumni to stay connected to each other and to the current student body. From sporting events to social brunches, MVNU administration and SGA has provided a busy and engaging schedule for all who attend.
SGA and Alumni Association have partnered together to provide various giveaways for students, alumni, and guests.
