Homecoming 2021

Join us the weekend of October 1-3 for Waldorf Homecoming 2021!

We are excited to celebrate with all of our alumni who are making the trip back to campus this Fall! This year’s theme is “Here Comes the Sun: Homecoming 2021!” If you can't make it back to campus please be with us in spirit and feel free to post your own celebrations from home on our social media channels including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!.

We have many of our annual events on the calendar once again for this year’s festivities. This includes: the Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony, afternoon luncheons, a crowd-favorite art, craft, and vendor fair, the Alumni Distinguished Service ceremony and Homecoming Concert, and of course, the always anticipated football game vs. Dakota State University.

Other fun activities include the annual 5K walk/run hosted by the Waldorf Track and Cross-Country teams that is back and even better after a successful appearance in 2019! Don’t forget to fill up at the pancake breakfast immediately following the 5K! Take time to connect with old friends in the beautiful Salveson lobby for coffee and to explore Waldorf College memorabilia. The Waldorf History Club will be collecting stories from alumni and would love to hear from you. If you aren’t staying for the luncheon on campus, head down for tailgating outside of Bolstorff Field. Set up a tailgate and bring the kids along for a Pillars student hosted carnival, bouncy houses and face painting!

In addition to a fun-filled calendar, Waldorf will also have the privilege to recognize many of our alumni at two separate ceremonies. Friday night’s Hall of Fame inductee is Denny Jerome ’70. Saturday night’s ceremony will recognize four Alumni Distinguished Service Award recipients and feature our Homecoming Concert. The award recipients include: Dr. Kris (Myhrwold) Meyer '75, Donald Meyer '72, Eunice (Keller) Christensen '57 and Olga (Podlesna) Coulton-Shaw '99. We are privileged and excited to honor such deserving men and women for these awards.

See you in October!

Interested in connecting with Warriors ALUMNI around the world?

Take the leap, and start a Waldorf Alumni Chapter near you!

It might not always be easy to come back to campus during the year, but we don't want that to stop you from continuing to build relationships with your fellow Waldorf friends and alumni.

Waldorf Alumni Chapters are meant to provide a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment to help bring together alumni, parents and friends of Waldorf throughout various parts of the nation. Chapter groups will allow members to stay connected with campus, no matter where they are located. These groups can be formed based off of geographic location or by special interest (small business owners, choir, football, major/minor, etc.), and are an awesome way to engage, network and reminisce with fellow Warriors all year round!

Through various events and activities (Think: sporting events, casual get-togethers, potlucks, etc.) throughout the year, we are hoping alumni take advantage of the opportunity to reconnect with former classmates and friends from Waldorf, while building and forming new relationships as well, that all have at least one wonderful thing in common: we all have a home in the Warrior family.

Interested in getting involved with or helping to start a chapter? Reach out to alumni@waldorf.edu today!
