Earlham’s Homecoming and Reunion Weekend is our annual celebration to welcome alumni and friends back to the College. We also celebrate class reunions each year, but all Earlhamites are welcome back to campus for a weekend full of festivities.

Homecoming and Reunion Weekend will begin on Thursday, Oct. 13, and conclude on Sunday, Oct. 16. Please see our schedule for a full list of activities.

Earlham is committed to keeping our campus and community safe, and we closely monitor the any updates on the coronavirus. At this time, masks are optional on campus. Homecoming guests will not be required to test or provide vaccination records. We do highly recommend that each person attending campus is up-to-date on available vaccines and boosters. For more information, please see the latest health updates regarding COVID-19 and Monkeypox.
