Planning for Homecoming 2012 is currently underway.

"Moving Forward As One"

We look forward to welcoming all alumni back to Royal Roads University for our 12th Annual Homecoming celebration from September 14th to 16th, 2012.

Homecoming is open to all alumni, faculty and staff from Royal Roads Naval, Tri-Services and Military Colleges (RRMC), and Royal Roads University (RRU). This exciting weekend will bring home alumni, their families and guests, and all members of the Royal Roads community to share, celebrate, engage in dialogue, learn and have fun! While homecomings are not new, the diverse nature of Royal Roads’ alumni makes this a uniquely different opportunity from any other homecoming across Canada.

Royal Roads has a rich educational history with its roots as a leading military college and now in its new role as a globally recognized institution focused on lifelong learning. This bridging of generations, knowledge and experience - facilitated in the beauty of the Royal Roads setting – gives new meaning to our vision and motto of “living our learning”. !
