Homecoming & Family Weekend

Homecoming reconnects our past and present Charger community to celebrate Briar Cliff and its traditions. This year, join us for some familiar favorites as well as some reimagined events. Throughout the week, current Chargers will have the chance to participate in many on-campus events. On Friday and Saturday, Briar Cliff University welcomes our alumni and the Siouxland community to enjoy a variety of social events. 

We can't wait to see you at Homecoming!
