Pacific University Homecoming

Pacific University's Homecoming welcomes alumni, students, parents and friends back to the Forest Grove campus to celebrate what it means to be a Boxer. The weekend includes the Soul Food Dinner hosted by Ubuntu, milestone reunion receptions, a Golden Guard celebration for alumni who have reached their 50th reunion, a Breakfast Forum with President Jenny Coyle, a Cawein Gallery reception and workshop with artist Mai Ide, Boxer Garden tours, a Boxer History presentation, a Rainbow Reception and a Greek Mixer, wrapping up with a farewell brunch.

Our take: Saturday's Boxer Nation Celebration runs tailgating in Parking Lot M from three hours before the 1 p.m. football kickoff against Pacific Lutheran through halftime, with the team's traditional walk to the locker room and Spirit Squad performances.
