Homecoming Events

Homecoming 2026

Homecoming is a time of annual celebration among current students and alumni and friends as everyone gathers on campus.

Homecoming will be celebrated during the weekend of October 23-24, 2026. The theme is “Glenchella" and will mimic the feeling of a music festival. Student organizations will base their floats, banners, and other activities around this theme.

Past members of the Pioneer Marching Band are again invited to participate in this year’s Alumni Band. Returning members can contact Jason.Barr@glenville.edu or Lloyd.Bone@glenville.edu for additional information.

Alumni members of returning Greek organizations Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Xi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta, Sigma Omega Beta, Alpha Xi Omega, Chi Zeta Pi, and Delta Xi Rho will be holding tailgate reunions before the game. The groups will have special sections under the tailgate tent (located in the Morris Stadium parking lot) in which to visit and reminisce on Saturday.

Kickoff between the Glenville State Pioneers and the West Liberty University Hilltoppers happens at 1:30 p.m.

All alumni and friends are encouraged to make plans to come back to Glenville for this annual celebration. For questions or more information, contact GSU’s Office of Alumni Relations by calling (304) 462-6116.
