Briar Cliff University invites alumni, students, families, and the Siouxland community to join in the 2025 Homecoming celebration, taking place September 22 – 28.
This year’s celebration will include a blend of classic favorite and reimagined events for all ages. Throughout the week, students will enjoy on-campus activities, while the weekend welcomes alumni and the broader community to campus for social gatherings, athletic competitions, and special performances.
“Homecoming is one of the most meaningful times of the year at Briar Cliff,” said Dr. Matthew Draud, President of Briar Cliff University. “It’s when we celebrate our history, our traditions, and the people who make this community so special. We look forward to welcoming alumni, students, families, and friends back to campus to reconnect, cheer on our teams, and create new memories together.”
