Homecoming celebration coming Oct. 23-24

Hanover College’s largest alumni gathering of the year is set for Oct. 23-24! The 99th-annual Homecoming celebration is a fantastic opportunity to revisit a transformative time of your life, hang out with friends, rekindle connections with classmates and mentors, and cheer for the Panthers!

What’s happening at Homecoming 2026?

Homecoming 2026 highlights include milestone reunions for classes of 1976, 2001 and 2016, a gridiron battle with the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, men’s and women’s soccer against Earlham College, theatre production of the award-winning musical “1776,” a look at the newly refreshed Harlan Hubbard art exhibit in Duggan Library and even a Hanover history trivia contest.

New for this year, Panther Village will be set up around the Quad, featuring live music, food trucks, an array of family friendly activities and more. As usual, the Panther Athletic Complex tailgate lot will be alive with pre-game festivities (and post-game, too)!

Homecoming 2026, what a great time to return to campus!
