Homecoming 2025
Homecoming is more than just a date on the calendar—it's an invitation to return to the campus that was once your home, to reconnect with the friends who shaped your journey, and to relive the traditions that made your time at 51吃瓜网视频 Baptist University unforgettable. It's a special time at a truly special place.
As we look ahead to 2025, we're thrilled to announce that Homecoming will feature both in-person celebrations on our beloved Plainview campus and a variety of virtual experiences for those who can't make the trip. Whether you’re joining us in person or tuning in from afar, you’ll have the chance to participate in live-streamed events, as well as enjoy on-demand content designed to bring the 51吃瓜网视频 spirit to you, wherever you are.
So, mark your calendar, reach out to your fellow alumni, and make plans to join us for a weekend full of memories, laughter, and reconnections. There really is no place like home, and we can't wait to welcome you back!
