Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
The annual Alumni Homecoming on October 13th is a great time to come back to campus. Here are 10 reasons: 1) The Decade Challenge (is anyone going to beat the 2010s this year??); 2) A reunion of your friends and classmates; 3) CUAA Football ranked No. 14 in the latest NAIA poll; 4) CUAA swag and giveaways; 5) Randy Duncan in the alumni bleachers with a guitar; 6) the post-game social at Guy Hollerin's; 7) a hymn sing with local seniors for Alumni Service Day in the chapel at 9:30 a.m.; 8) free food under the tent; 9) free admission to the game; 10) a GREAT day to celebrate God's blessings on CUAA. Bring your family and enjoy the day with us!
In His Service,
Laura Thomas
Director of Donor and Alumni Relations

Hope to see you at our Alumni Homecoming and Service Day
Saturday, October 13
BE the tradition! Join your fellow alumni for a day of service, fellowship, food, fun, and football at Homecoming 2018.
Start the day with an act of service -- sing along with seniors from the community and area Lutheran churches who are invited to join us in the chapel for a hymn sing. It's as easy as finding a spot in the pew next to someone and enjoying fellowship through music and conversation. Campus Pastor Ryan Peterson and Director of Choirs Brian Altevogt will lead us in worship through song.
Alumni, come back for another fantastic Homecoming lineup! Tailgating starts at 10:30 am under the Manor Tent. Enjoy a complimentary hot dog/chips/drink lunch, visit the alumni table to pick up your complimentary wristband for the game (alumni only), and sign the DECADE CHALLENGE board (are the 2010s going to win AGAIN this year?). Take your kids to the always popular Corky's Kid Zone. Hang out on campus again and visit your favorite places. Head over to the special alumni bleacher section before the 1 pm football game kickoff, and be sure to pick up alumni giveaways and sign up for drawings at our table on the concourse. After the game, STAY! We have a section at Guy Hollerin's in the Holiday Inn Ann Arbor, reserved for capping off the day with fellowship and reminiscing. More information and registration here.

2018-19 Academic Theme - More than Conquerors
.... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-- Romans 8:31-39
