Homecoming and Reunion Weekend

Save the Date for Homecoming 2027

October 7-10, 2027

What a weekend!

More than 900 alumni and friends returned to campus for an unforgettable Homecoming & Reunion Weekend 2026, October 15–18. The weekend was filled with meaningful connections, cherished traditions, and plenty of Earlham spirit! Highlights included class reunions for years ending in “1” and “6,” spirited home games in volleyball and men’s and women’s soccer, a special documentary screening with The New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly ’77, and the Dennis Hinkle 5K.

Throughout the weekend, alumni reconnected with campus through classroom sessions, tours, birdwatching, and an update from President Paul Sniegowski. Epic Expo showcased the incredible work of Earlham students, while the Alumni Awards Ceremony and Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony celebrated the achievements of outstanding Earlhamites. And, of course, the Homecoming Bash brought everyone together for one of the biggest celebrations of the year, complete with music, dancing, and Earlham-themed flash tattoos!

Relive the memories in our recap video below, and get ready to do it all again next year, October 7-10, 2027!
