The revamped Purple and Gold Alumni Weekend, a new twist on a time-honored tradition for 甜瓜视频app alumni, is returning to the Cullowhee campus this summer after last year鈥檚 successful relaunch.
In addition to the opportunity to network with other alumni and reminisce about college days, the gathering of Catamounts of all ages is set for the weekend of July 25-27. Activities will include whitewater rafting, hiking, a paint-and-sip event, an alumni dinner and an afterparty.
The weekend also will include special recognition of graduates from the classes of 1999, 1984, 1974, 1964 and 1954 and a sneak peek into the 2025-2026 athletics season featuring coaches of Catamount sports teams.
