Every student graduates ready to live, learn, and thrive in a global community
This week is Homecoming for our students and community and we are thrilled to welcome our Etown alumni back to campus for this Friday night’s football game versus Muhlenberg. Event like Homecoming are made memorable when we come together to celebrate traditions that make Etown a special place. Make plans to join our team, band, cheerleaders, student section, and a host of other organizations night under the lights to connect with friends old and new.
We can’t wait to see you back in the stands - have a great week!
