Before You Come

RSVP

It is free, and it takes a minute

We are booking both nights off the headcount, so we need to know who is coming. The RSVP costs nothing.

The MOB Rally is the first in a new series of standalone alumni events, built for the alumni who cannot always make it back to Harrisonburg. The next one on the calendar is the 52nd Alumni Reunion Weekend, October 23 to 25 in Harrisonburg.

The Alumni Association runs on memberships. They fund scholarships, team travel, and coaching. If you are not a member yet, you can join at any level.

Go Dukes.
