We invite you to return to the Hill to enjoy Homecoming 2007. Catch up with friends, relive special moments, cheer the Cardinals to victory over Culver-Stockton. Be sure to make plans to join your friends at the Annual Alumni Dinner. More than 350 alumni attended last year’s dinner to reminisce with former classmates and recognize alumni service award honorees and Athletic Hall of Fame inductees. For many, it was a perfect capstone for a memorable weekend. Welcome Back to the Hill!
