This year’s Homecoming is more than a reunion—it’s a milestone.

As Gardner-Webb celebrates 120 years of tradition, transformation, and community, we’re inviting you to be part of the story. It’s a chance to reconnect with classmates and friends, reminisce about the moments that shaped your time at GWU, and experience all that’s new on campus. For students, Homecoming is a proud celebration of what it means to be a Runnin’ Bulldog—and this year, it’s woven into our 120-year legacy.

Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. as the Runnin’ Bulldogs take on the Lindenwood Lions.

Highlights of the weekend include fan favorites like the Homecoming Parade, the big game, Bo’s Battle Que, the Athletics Hall of Fame Gala, and a festive barbecue lunch.

As Gardner-Webb reflects on 120 years of excellence, growth, and Bulldog spirit, Homecoming is your opportunity to celebrate where we’ve been and the bold future we’re building together.

This schedule will be updated frequently as more information becomes available—please check back often!
