Homecoming and Family Weekend 2025 in photos

October 3, 2025

About 2,500 alumni, friends of the college, students and families gathered on campus Sept. 26-28 for Homecoming and Family Weekend. Classes ending in 5 and 0 celebrated during the weekend. This year, alumni celebrated milestone reunions for the Class of 1975 (50th anniversary), Chi Omega Gamma (100th anniversary), L.O.V.E. (Ladies of Vital Essence; 45th anniversary) and Rho Nu Delta (100th anniversary). Bingo was a hot ticket for alumni of the last 10 years, and QuadFest connected Vikings and guests of all ages.

Here's a look at the weekend festivities.
