Coming home to Northwestern will be extra special this year as we celebrate the Grand Opening of the Billy Graham Community Life Commons. In its history, Northwestern has never had such a beautiful, functional and important central gathering place for our community and we want all alumni who have at one time called NWC "home" to join us for the celebration.
Join us October 7–9 for this year's lineup of Homecoming activities for all ages. Take in the Grand Opening, family fun activities, sports, and many other traditional Homecoming happenings.
Explore the information below for Homecoming details or make a straight line "as the Eagle flies" to pre-register for events or purchase tickets through our secure ticketing website.
Pre-homecoming activities
If you're in town or arriving early, join us October 6 for campus events to get an early start to your Homecoming fun.
Begin with worship as we join students for chapel and hear from special guest Will Graham. A special Billy Graham Era Alumni Excursion and the official Grand Opening of the Graham Commons are sure to make this a memorable day!
Nonstop fun is the order of the day! Your to-do list may include building tours, parade, tailgating, Kid Zone, football and more. Be among the first to sign your eaglets up for the Junior Eagles Club! Plus, you won't want to miss our Fusion event, featuring Brandon Heath and Britt Nicole.
