Homecoming
Welcome home, Eagles!
October 1–5, 2025
During Benedictine University’s Homecoming Weekend, we celebrate you—our graduates—with a variety of campus events.
From the home football tailgate, to the big game, it’s your time to come back, reconnect, and cheer on your fellow Eagles! Let’s celebrate BenU tradition, pride, and community together.
