NOVA NATION

All About That Nova Pride

Villanova Wildcats are deeply connected to the University, and they show it in countless ways. They cheer on the Wildcats, supporting their alma mater at sporting events, Reunions and Homecomings, service projects, and social gatherings, all while sporting blue and white head to toe. Wildcats also showcase their school spirit with Villanova gear—from a pennant on an office wall to shelves stocked with mementos to a room decorated as a mini Nova Nation. Villanovans keep their pride alive every day, everywhere they go and in everything they do.
