A small little land grant institution of fun. In the names of all things Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Santa Claus… yes Virginia, there really is a Stanhope State University. It exists in your hearts, it is a complete state of mind and well-rounded education in fun. Celebrating why “fan” is short for fanatic, the nostalgia of small town garage parties with your friends, where the underdog always wins and good times had. Don't worry we don't believe in homework or testing, we we are very serious about tailgating. We hope you'l follow us for updates from campus and announcements of special alumni events.
