In fact, some participants use and expand on that model after graduation. To learn more about Southern's LifeGroups program, visit southern.edu/belong.

Homecoming Weekend
Once again, more than 700 Southern alumni and friends from across the country came
together to reconnect and fellowship during Homecoming Weekend. Returning to a pre-pandemic
format, the weekend included many favorite events, such as the Ladies’ Luncheon, honor
class reunions, golf tournament, academic open houses, and much more. Additionally, participants
enjoyed new activities, such as a guided hike on the Sabbath Trail and hearing students
share their mission testimonies during Sabbath School.
