Sunshine and blue skies put a golden glow on every part of last fall’s Homecoming. From Friday’s alumni awards and art activities, through Saturday’s athletics and reunions, to Sunday’s Mass, brunch and golf—the 2014 alumni gathering put smiles across the campus.

Whether your interests run to music, art and theater—men’s and women’s sports—football tailgating—connecting with pals—or meeting a few new friends: Homecoming is the place to be.

So save the date for this year: October 16-18, 2015.
