Homecoming

Homecoming is the perfect time to return to campus and rekindle your LR spirit.

We are excited to welcome back our LR alumni and friends from near and far for Homecoming 2025. Make sure to save the dates of Oct. 17-18 for Homecoming in Hickory.

The classes of 1975, 1985, 2000 and 2015 will celebrate milestone reunions during Homecoming 2025 weekend. The Office of Alumni Engagement is looking for alumni from these classes to help with reunion planning. If you’re interested in volunteering, reach out to Diego Sanjuan ’24, coordinator of alumni engagement.
