This year, everything was a little different, including Homecoming. North Park friends and alumni still celebrated from home, though, with festivities including a Reunion & Awards Brunch, where North Park alumni healthcare workers were honored. The program recognized those working on the frontlines of the global pandemic and the faculty and staff who have prepared them to do so.

North Park’s campus.
Saturday was filled with events, including the Virtual River Run 5K finish line celebration (participants were encouraged to run on their own and record their efforts on an app); the Office of Diversity and Intercultural Life’s Tailgate; and a replay of the Vikings vs. Elmhurst football game from November 9, 2019. The weekend was capped off with a Virtual Class Reunion for several milestone graduation classes.
Other events included a Friday night replay of the Men’s Soccer team vs. rival Gustavus Adolphus College in an epic November 17, 2019 match that went into two overtimes and a shootout.
