Homecoming

LU Homecoming Parade Dancers

Blue Tigers — are you ready for the centennial celebration?

This year marks 100 years of Homecoming tradition at Lincoln University — a century of Blue Tiger pride, community, and legacy! Since 1925, students and alumni have returned to “the Hill” each fall to honor the school that shaped their journey.

In 2025, we’re not just coming home — we’re celebrating a milestone: a century of Homecoming memories, spirit and connection.

Homecoming is October 26 – November 1, 2025!

Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime centennial Homecoming celebration and be part of history!
