BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University is honored to have the U.S. Army Golden Knights perform at 1 p.m. before the Homecoming Game. The team will bring down the game ball in their parachute jump in time for kickoff at 1:30, when the Runnin’ Bulldogs take on Lindenwood.
Director of Alumni Relations Leah Clevenger explained the significance of the event. “Homecoming isn’t just one day anymore,” she noted. “We now have a full weekend of events that are fun family traditions. We hope alumni, families, and friends of the University will create Homecoming ‘24 memories by making plans to be a part of the activities offered Oct. 18-20.”
Homecoming at Gardner-Webb is a chance to reconnect with classmates and friends, reminisce about classes and social events, and explore what’s new on campus. For students, Homecoming celebrates what it means to be a Runnin’ Bulldog.
