NEW TRADITION: Welcome Home Block Party
We’re getting the band back together—let’s recognize your return to the campus that’s 4,000 feet above ordinary. Celebrate all things Lees-McRae on Friday evening with BBQ, music, dancing, and s’mores by the fire. The night will include a performance by Barefoot Modern featuring Tegan Dean ’21, presentation of the Homecoming Court, and special recognition of student-athletes.
Don't miss the fireworks after Saturday's soccer games!
