Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you,
and how much He has had mercy on you. Mark 5:19

Dear Alumnus,
Coming home always has that comfortable feeling, a place where you can feel safe and loved. Homecoming at CUW is much more than just sports. It is getting together with friends and bringing your family to that comfortable place where we all have the common bond of being a Concordian. Whether you attended Concordia as a student in high school, junior college, as a traditional undergraduate, graduate, or in the accelerated learning program, you are always welcome at your school home. Please review the information below to find out the many ways for you to be involved.
We look forward to you coming home and telling us your stories and what the Lord has done for you.
