Grab your silver and blue, and join us October 21-23!
Come back and be a part of one of Christopher Newport's oldest traditions-Homecoming!
Celebrate and reflect, reconnect with friends, and see firsthand how the campus continues to grow. Whether it is tailgating with friends, getting a tour of campus, previewing the new season's basketball teams at Midnight Madness, watching the golf cart parade, or attending the football game, Homecoming is a great time to come back and celebrate being a Captain for Life.
