Dickinson welcomed more than 1,200 alumni, families and friends back to campus Oct. 23-25 for a weekend of connection, learning and Red Devil pride. Familiar traditions such as the Run for Steph, the All-Campus Barbecue & Tailgate and Fall at the Dickinson College Farm brought generations together, while athletic contests, faculty presentations and open houses highlighted the energy of campus life.
The weekend showcased Dickinson’s commitment to preparing students for a rapidly changing world through discussions on artificial intelligence in the classroom, career development, global education and the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy. It also featured a decisive 52-0 victory on the gridiron over McDaniel College.
Special celebrations included the 40th anniversary of ALLARM, the 75th anniversary of InterVarsity’s Dickinson Christian Fellowship and a Delta Nu gathering featuring an archival exhibit. Alumni and families also attended a discussion and book signing with bestselling author Laura Kamoie ’92, P’26, and enjoyed lectures, performances, exhibitions and cultural events across campus. Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026 offered countless opportunities to reconnect, learn and celebrate the Dickinson community.
