Homecoming A gathering of brits near and far

Albion College's Homecoming celebration was one for the history books, capped off with a resounding W for Britons Football.

Guests were asked to answer "Why Albion?" upon arriving to the campus green.

Tailgates hosted by families, alumni, Greek groups, faculty and staff were in abundance as were impromptu corn hole games.

Alumni traveled to Albion to celebrate Homecoming festivities as well as their reunions, including the Class of 1973 who celebrated their 50 year reunion.

Campus was dripping with purple and gold, and the creativity of our community of Brits was on full display.

Members of the Class of 2026 painted the rock to honor Albion's unofficial squirrel mascot as part of a Homecoming Spirit Week competition.

Assistant Dean of Campus Life Sharese Shannon Mathis and Associate Professor Dominick Quinney show off their fits.

Currents students, alumni, faculty, staff, families and supporters gathered for a festive pre-game tailgate behind Ferguson Hall.

The Tailgate Competition was a fierce contest but the judges awarded ribbons for "Best Food and Drink" as well as for "Most School Spirit"!
