Alumni Weekend 2026

Start your Alumni Weekend Saturday with a pick-me-up at Hoover Library! Stop in for an eye-opening cup of freshly brewed coffee and a tempting selection of light breakfast and brunch grab-and-go treats — perfect for fueling up before reconnecting with classmates and heading to your next event.

When you arrive on the Hill, swing by Ensor Lounge just off Memorial Plaza to let us know you’re here! Pick up your weekend schedule, name tag, and some sweet McDaniel swag!

These short 45- to 60-minute enrichment sessions will give guests a snapshot of campus life and academic and social pursuits of current Green Terrors. 

• Field Trip to the McDaniel Environmental Center. Meet vans at mid-level Roj Student Center entrance promptly at 10 a.m.
• Learn about the rennovated Harvey Stone Pavilion. Golf carts available at Elderdice Hall quad entrance.
• Reminisce and hear from current student leaders at The Hill: Then & Now. Hill Hall 110.

If you haven't been to campus in a while, stop for brunch at Glar and see just how good today’s Green Terrors have it! Glar offers eggs, pancakes, and other homestyle breakfast offerings, plus continental options, fresh fruit, pastries, and allergy-friendly choices — all part of their diverse culinary setup including fresh, oftentimes local, ingredients. 

Special pricing available for Alumni Weekend guests.
