Get ready for family fun! JWU’s Providence Campus will celebrate Homecoming & Family Weekend on October 2-4, 2026.

Homecoming & Family Weekend is an annual tradition the entire JWU community looks forward to. Students, families, friends, faculty, staff and alumni come together to enjoy time on campus and a variety of fun activities. Be sure to register early to secure tickets for limited-seating events, and remember there’s plenty happening throughout the weekend that doesn’t require a special ticket. We encourage everyone to register so you don’t miss out.
