Homecoming & Family Weekend is a wonderful time to explore Juniata with the ones you love. Cheer on the Juniata Eagles, attend events on the quad, enjoy quality time with your student during evening family events hosted by Campus Life, and explore campus open houses. See the full Schedule of Events for info on all of the events and activities that are being planned.

Frequently-Asked Questions:

What time should I plan to arrive on campus? Events begin on Friday afternoon. However, it's ok if your schedule doesn't permit you to arrive until later that day or on Saturday. Registration is open on Friday and Saturday in the lobby of Ellis Hall (see schedule for times). Please check in when you arrive.

Which events are open to parents and other family members? Other than class reunion events and other invitation only events, parents and family members are welcome to enjoy all of the weekend's activities. We hope you will explore the schedule of events and dive into this celebration of all things Juniata.

Should I register my Juniata student? Yes, please register your entire party, including your Juniata student, when completing online registration. Please note in the schedule and on the registration form that there are meal options for students who have a meal plan.

If we aren't attending events that require advance registration, do we still need to register? Yes, please register online so your nametags and other information will be ready when you arrive on campus for the weekend. It will save you time when checking in at Registration in the lobby of Ellis Hall. You will simply follow the registration steps, but not select any individual activites. Be sure to check the Schedule of Events for the most updated information on activites as the weekend approaches!

Where can we grab a bite to eat? Check the Additional Information page for more information about on-campus dining options, pricing, and hours. If you're looking for options off-campus, check out some of the favorite local restaurants recommended by Juniata staff.

Do I need to buy a ticket to Saturday's Lunch in Baker Refectory for my Juniata student? There are options on the registration form for 'students on the meal plan' and 'students NOT on the meal plan'. Please make the proper selection based on your student's status. Students on the meal plan should present their Juniata ID card to Parkhurst staff upon arrival to the picnic.
