Ashland University Alumni Association

Spirit, tradition, and plenty of Eagle pride! 💜🦅💛

These varsity football cheerleaders from the 1975–1976 school year were there to rally the crowd and cheer on the Eagles at every game! 🏈

ALUMNI of the Ashland University Marching Band! 🥁🎵

We look forward to having you join us at Homecoming on Saturday, October 3rd, when the Eagles host Tiffin University with a 1 PM kickoff, for a combined performance of current and former members of the AUMB. This year's halftime show is a tribute to the 80s, featuring "Take on Me," "Billie Jean," and "Holding Out for a Hero."

Alumni are invited to perform Billie Jean (twirler feature) and Holding Out for a Hero at halftime, in addition to the Battle Song, Remember, and Hey Cheer during pregame. You are also welcome to join us in the stands during the game to play stand tunes!

Please fill out this form to notify us of your attendance. You can also find scanned music here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/rA8q256FBu

There will be a meet & greet at 8 AM in the VIP Room of the Troop Center with refreshments, followed by a joint morning rehearsal at 9 AM in Jack Miller Stadium.

Every Eagle had a soundtrack. 🎵

What songs instantly take you back to your days at Ashland University?

Whether it was blasting in your dorm room, playing on the way to class, or the anthem of your friend group, drop a song (or a few!) in the comments. 🎧

Let's build the ultimate AU playlist—one memory at a time. 💜🦅💛

Before the first class... before move-in... before Welcome Week... there was community. 💜💛

Our Columbus Summer Send-Off, hosted by alumni Evan Weidenhamer '96 and Heather Gongola Weidenhamer '96, gave future Eagles and their families a chance to gather, ask questions, share excitement, and begin forming the relationships that make Ashland so special.

Because at Ashland University, you're never just joining a campus—you're becoming part of a community that welcomes you from day one and stays with you long after graduation. 🦅

We're turning up the nostalgia this . 📻

This photo from the 1975-76 yearbook captures a moment in WRDL's rich history. As we celebrate WRDL's 60th anniversary in 2026, we're honoring the generations of students who made the station a place to learn, lead, and be heard.

Were you part of WRDL? Share your memories in the comments! 💜💛🦅

Every Ashland Eagle knows Tuffy is more than a mascot—he's part of the traditions, memories, and spirit that bring our campus together.

Now it's time for the next chapter.

We're raising funds to bring a new Tuffy to life, and thanks to generous supporters, we're already over halfway there!

🟣 Goal: $15,000
🟡 Raised: $8,000
🦅 Only $7,000 to go!

Join us in helping Tuffy soar for future generations of Eagles.

Before mobile ordering...before curbside pickup...there was the Convo drive-thru. 🚗🍽️

Where today's side entrances are located, the Convocation Center featured a circular drive where people could pull up to pick up food. If you look closely, you can spot it in this aerial photo!

Who remembers using the drive? We'd love to hear your stories! 💜💛
