“ Homecoming is a reminder that no matter where in the world alumni may wander, Dartmouth is always a place filled with warmth, traditions, and memories that welcomes you home with open arms. ”
- Carolyn Gray Kimberlin
    Assistant Vice President, Alumni Relations

The crowd was buzzing with excitement for Dartmouth's 2024 Homecoming festivities. The weather in Hanover made for a picture-perfect fall weekend as thousands returned to campus to participate in traditions including the Homecoming parade, the bonfire, and cheering on the football team at the recently renamed Buddy Teevens Stadium. 

In addition to the weekend's main events, alumni and families also attended informational sessions including Navigating College Admissions and Back to Class: Will the United States Elect its first Woman President? Attendees enjoyed smaller group social events including the young alumni tailgate, a parents and families gathering, and a reception for members of the 1769 Society. The Dartmouth athletics community also celebrated several events including the Wearers of the Green induction ceremony and reception and the dedication of the Lewinstein Athletic Center.
