"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims

 His handiwork." 

--Psalm 19:1

Dear Concordia alumni,


Homecoming gives us all the feels! It’s a chance to come together as friends, remember where we came from and reminisce about the good old days.

 

This year, our alumni Homecoming is Saturday, October 19. All on-campus events are free for alumni, but registration is appreciated. See a listing of the day's events and register here.


Here's a fun opportunity to come back to campus and cheer on our home team! We hope to see you there!

Update from Mike Duffy, Interim Campus Executive

The vibe on campus is "business as usual," Duffy said. "Everybody's working hard. This campus is loaded with great people--passionate people. Not only for the mission of the Church, but for the students."


That includes our coaches, he added, many of whom are staying to the end of each semester to help our student-athletes find the right fit for their next academic/athletic endeavor.


Speaking of athletics, we hope to see our alumni cheer on the football team during Homecoming on October 19, at Cardinal Stadium, he said.


Alumni are also invited (and encouraged) to attend:


In the meantime, we are in search of memorabilia from years past that alumni are willing to share with Concordia. Please contact Duffy via email at michael.duffy@cuaa.edu if you have questions or would like to help.

"We are afraid of surrender to God because we don’t want to lose control. But we never had control. All we had was anxiety."
