Each Homecomings Weekend, alumni from the three most recent graduating classes return to Charlottesville for an epic celebration with friends and classmates.
In 2026, to celebrate 20 unforgettable years of YAR, alumni of the last ten years are invited to get their YARty on. If you graduated between 2016 and 2026, this YAR is for you. Whether it’s your first trip to Charlottesville since graduation, or you’re back to relive the magic of your best YAR ever, get your ticket before they’re gone!
