Homecoming 2024
OUR STORY TO TELL
Homecoming is where our shared Trevecca story comes to life. It’s a time to reconnect with old friends and relive the moments that shaped us. Whether it’s the lessons learned or the friendships formed, your story is an essential part of our history.
Join us Nov. 1-2 as we gather to celebrate the stories that have made Trevecca what it is today.
This is our story to tell.
We talk a lot around here about what I call the collective Trevecca Story. When we sit around the dinner table with friends or run into an old acquaintance, we can’t help but discuss legendary Trevecca folks—the ones who helped shape our hearts and minds, won the championship or played the best prank on campus. We tell stories about how we met our best friends and the heartbreaks and breakthroughs we experienced. We share what we learned and who helped us along the way.
I recently had a conversation with a friend who observed that even after 30 years of being a student, the way he leads is a direct result of what he learned from folks at Trevecca.
His impact as a leader is a continuation of the Trevecca Story. Even more—HE is the Trevecca Story. And so are you. We all are. How we serve, lead and impact the lives of others is how we tell the Trevecca Story.
When we gather at Homecoming, it’s as though the pages of the Trevecca Story are being bound together for a couple beautiful days. That’s why it’s so good when you come back—because your page is important.
We hope you’ll plan to be on campus Nov. 1-2. Whether you live in Nashville or far away; whether it’s your official reunion year or not; or whether you came last year or you’ve never been to Homecoming, come back. Standing alongside others who make up this beautiful story—those living and those who are long gone but whose presence still lingers—will do something good for your soul.
Friends, WE are the Trevecca story. This is our story to tell. Let’s do it together.
