Homecoming
Warren Wilson College welcomes you to celebrate Homecoming each year, either on campus or in a town near you!
2026 will be our inaugural Homecoming Near and Far event – we look forward to celebrating with you in your hometown or somewhere nearby!
Homecoming Near and Far locations will be announced on this page and via the Talon Alumni Newsletter this summer. Alumni in the Asheville area can still plan to join us on campus for classic events such as the Fall Fest and Working Lands Showcase, WWC athletic events, and the annual off-campus alumni gathering.
Homecoming for EverybodyÂ
Can’t always make it to North Carolina for Homecoming? That’s okay because Homecoming is coming to you! Every other year, Homecoming takes place across the country while continuing to offer events on campus. During Homecoming Near and Far years, alumni who live great distances from Asheville will find it easier to participate and get to know their local alumni communities, while Homecoming at WWC years will offer you the chance to celebrate your milestone years with friends from neighboring class years and greater likelihood of gathering with friends during your visit to campus.
