Homecoming is a special time for friends of the University to gather on Olivet’s campus. With activities planned for all ages and interests, Olivet celebrates accomplishments and heritage during a three-day schedule of events.

“Olivet loves tradition, and Homecoming & Family Weekend activities are one of the best ways for us to celebrate,” said Erinn Proehl, Executive Director of Alumni, Church and Constituent Relations . “We invite everyone — students, their parents and siblings, faculty, staff, friends and our community — and all age groups to join us. Celebrating with all of you adds so much to this special time on our campus.”

Save the Date for Homecoming & Family Weekend 2024 and plan to join us on campus October 25-27th! Tickets will be available soon, but we encourage you to consider making hotel reservations early as spaces sell out quickly!
