Make plans now to return to campus for an unforgettable Homecoming weekend, October 24-26. This year is the perfect time to come back and celebrate a special milestone—the anniversary of the iconic Stetson Hat Company. We're proud to partner with the West Volusia Tourism Advertising Authority to help you make the most of your visit, with plenty to explore in DeLand and the surrounding West Volusia area. Book your stay early and get ready for a weekend full of Stetson spirit!

Father’s Day may have passed, but it’s never too late to honor a proud Stetson Dad or recent Grad with a gift that makes a lasting impact.

Celebrate their Hatter pride by making a donation to Stetson in their honor. Your gift does more than mark the occasion — it creates a legacy that supports students and strengthens the Stetson community.

Special Thank-You: Give $50 or more to any fund by June 30 and receive an exclusive Stetson luggage tag — a perfect way for your honoree to show their Hatter spirit wherever life takes them.

The Office of Alumni Engagement is excited to launch the 10 of the Last 10 awards program. These 10 awards will recognize outstanding alumni from our Forever Green Young Alumni community (undergraduates from 2015-2025). This honor celebrates Hatters who exemplify the spirit of Stetson early in their post-graduate journeys. Submit nominations now through July 20!

Save the date for Stetson Law's 125th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, November 1. Alumni, friends, and community members are invited to commemorate this special milestone together in Gulfport. Formal invitation to follow.

Want to be featured? Your professional and personal achievements can be highlighted on our social media, in the Alumni Newsletter and in the Stetson Magazine. Submit a Class Note anytime to be considered for one—or all—of these spotlights. Space is based on availability. Have questions? Email us at alumni@stetson.edu.
