Homecoming 2025
Dear Bluffton alumni, donors and friends,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you back to campus to celebrate Homecoming
2025!
This year’s theme is “...it’s all about relationships” - a phrase coined by the late Don Schweingruber, dean of students at Bluffton University from 1972-2005. We are so excited to welcome Bluffton alumni, parents, and friends to a variety of events scheduled for the long weekend.
We are kicking it off at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, with my inauguration. I’m honored and humbled to be Bluffton’s 11th President, and I couldn’t think of a better way to start my journey than by opening the event to all as part of Homecoming Weekend.
From art shows to Beaver Tail-Gating to an alumni sing and class reunions, there is so much for Beavers of any age to do on campus!
There is no pre-registration or fee required but some events do require an additional purchase to participate. If you want to purchase an “...it’s all about relationships” t-shirt, be sure to stop by the Alumni Welcome Tent just outside Salzman Stadium on Saturday!
Throw on your best purple and white and join us for an extra dose of Bluffton fun! I hope to see you there.
Best regards,
Alex
J. Alexander Sider
President
Bluffton University
