Methodist University is welcoming alumni, family, and friends to campus this week (November 7–9) for Homecoming 2025, a weekend filled with celebration, connection, and Monarch pride.
This year’s theme, is “Forever Monarchs: Once a Monarch, Always a Monarch,” a reflection of lifelong relationships and connections in the MU community.
“Homecoming is such a big weekend for reconnecting with familiar faces,” said Catherine Okafor, director of Alumni Relations. “This will be my first MU Homecoming, so I’m excited for it all: welcoming alumni back to campus, all the events we have planned, and everyone’s school pride. I’ve worked with various campus departments, the alumni board, and the Homecoming committee to plan this year’s celebration, so we all are ready and excited for Homecoming Weekend.”
As the excitement builds, Methodist University anticipates strong attendance.
“We expect to have a great turnout this year,” Okafor said. “There will be alumni from a wide range of class years coming back to campus. I’m excited to see everyone in their green and gold MU gear, just happy to be with their friends, reconnect with classmates and family, and overall have fun.”
From tailgates to the big game, campus traditions and reunion gatherings, Homecoming 2025 honors Monarch legacies while celebrating the future of the MU community.
