‘COVID Seniors’ Granted Extra Eligibility

Homecoming 2021

In what felt like a small return to normal after a year without homecoming on campus and the Centennial celebration homecoming in 2019, this year’s homecoming, Oct. 1-2, was a breath of fresh air.

Traditional staples like chapel, the Heritage Society induction, the Scholarship Dinner and varsity soccer games highlighted the weekend’s events.

Two classes (1970 and 1971) were inducted into the Heritage Society, which recognizes alumni who graduated 50 years ago or more. Their reunions were filled with stories, laughter and gratitude for God’s faithfulness through the years.

Other more recent homecoming traditions like the Alumni Breakfast with President Pollard on Saturday morning and the 5K Glow Run, benefitting the JBU Scholarship Fund, were also well attended and enjoyed by the participants.

The men’s rugby club celebrated its 40th anniversary and battled heavy rains on Saturday morning with an alumni win over the current rugby team.

The festivities concluded with the Alumni Awards Dinner and the fall play “Tartuffe,” presented by the department of music and theatre.

Don’t miss out! Join us Oct. 7-8 for Homecoming 2022.
