Every year, the University family gathers in Baker Chapel to honor alumni and friends of the University who have served ETBU in various capacities. Each year, we induct a new class of Golden Blazers, recognize the 50-year reunion class, and honor six alumni for their contributions to their alma mater or society. There is an honoree luncheon immediately following Chapel in the Great Hall of the Great Commission Center. Read more about this year's Homecoming Award recipients at www.ETBU.edu/HomecomingAwards.
There is a seat at the table for you! ETBU Students in the Honors Program invite you to pull up a chair, shuffle the set, bid your hand, and win some tricks! Everyone is welcome to watch. If you plan to play, please indicate that when you register for homecoming.
Join the rest of the Tiger Family at Ornelas Football Stadium for a pep rally supporting our Tigers and stay for a fireworks show!
There isn't anything better than breakfast for dinner! Enjoy some pancakes while you [re]connect with fellow Tiger Alumni in Bennett Student Commons.
Calling all Tiger Cubs! Join us for story time and a fun craft in the Mamye Jarrett Library. Toby and Tabby the Tigers will be there and is excited to see you!
Whether you graduated 50 years ago or 10 years ago, we would love to welcome you back to the Hill. Enjoy complimentary brunch with your fellow Tiger Alumni.
