This is the night when you’ll truly learn what it means to be a Mountaineer. You’ll have the opportunity to step foot on Mountaineer Field in Milan Puskar Stadium, sign your “Class of 2026” flag, watch the Pride of West Virginia perform its pregame show, meet new friends and, of course, get your official class photo taken in the state of West Virginia. You’ll receive your official class T-shirt after the event, too.

Transportation: Students living on Evansdale should walk to the football stadium and enter the field through the southwest tunnel. Students living Downtown will travel to and from the football stadium via buses. Buses will begin leaving lot ST-10 (near the Life Sciences Building on University Avenue) at 6:45 p.m. After the event, Downtown residents will board buses outside the stadium for the return trip to ST-10.  

Doors to the event open at 7 p.m. There will be activities on the field until the program begins at 8:30 p.m. Students will enter through the southwest tunnel of the stadium.

The clear bag policy will be enforced.
