Homecoming at Montclair carries special meaning for Nakia (Kia) Swinton ’16. As an engaged alumna, she followed in the footsteps of her father, the late Stephen Swinton ’87, while crafting a Montclair legacy all her own.

Whether you’re five years out or fifty, the Montclair spirit never fades—and neither does your impact. Volunteering is one of the most meaningful ways alumni can stay connected to their alma mater while giving back to the community that helped shape their journey.

There’s nothing like coming back to the place where it all started. We invite our alumni and their guests to the annual Alumni BBQ at Homecoming, a heartwarming gathering that brings Red Hawks of all generations together to celebrate memories, community and school spirit.

With Anthony M. Carlino, Esq. ’77 at the helm of the Montclair State University Foundation board, the University has a powerful ally in building a world-class, public-serving institution.
