Behind every homecoming celebration is a team dedicated to bringing Greyhounds together!

Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement, Zoe Winfield (BA 24) is an ENMU alumna, and she knows first-hand what it means to bring Greyhounds together. Director of Alumni Engagement, Tanya Ridpath's grandparents were Eastern alumni, and she found her way home. Together, they work to keep the Greyhound spirit alive by creating opportunities for alumni, students, and the ENMU community to reconnect and celebrate.

For Zoe, the homecoming spirit is one of her favorite parts of the job, "As a past Homecoming Queen this time of year always holds a special place in my heart."

And Tanya believes that "The greatest resource alumni can give is their time to help today's students become tomorrow's leaders."

Make sure to visit these two at all alumni events happening at this weekend at homecoming, and check out these upcoming alumni opportunities:

  • The Alumni Association Board is recruiting volunteers. The deadline to submit is October 31, 2026
  • Assist students with career preparedness. Alumni Engagement is launching Top Dawg Academy in February!

For the Eastern New Mexico University's alumni engagement team, Homecoming is about celebrating the connections, traditions, and generations that make ENMU feel like home.

Happy Homecoming, Greyhounds!
