Last weekend, Point University hosted its annual Homecoming weekend.
Alumni were invited to the University’s campus in West Point for a weekend of fun events celebrating the Point community. The weekend kicked off on Friday evening with the Skyhawk Forever Fest, a festival with local food trucks, inflatables, games and a live worship concert by the Point University worship band.
On Saturday morning, Point hosted a 5K and one-mile color run, in which runners had color powder thrown on them throughout the race. The race was open to the community as well as Point students, alumni, faculty and staff.
After the race, alumni gathered for a brunch on campus, followed by a campus tour for those who attended in East Point and hadn’t previously been able to visit the West Point campus. Saturday afternoon, the Skyhawks kicked off against University of Pikeville, a game that ended with a walk-off game-winner for the Skyhawks.
“Homecoming at Point was a major success, providing an opportunity to connect alumni from past generations with current students and the community in West Point,” said Aaron Lewis ’13, director of alumni relations. “Our Skyhawk Forever Fest on Friday celebrated the rich diversity of cultures at Point University, featuring bilingual worship and several international food trucks. This year’s Homecoming aimed to reflect God’s kingdom here on earth, and I believe we achieved that.”
Many of our alumni traveled long distances to attend Homecoming, and some of our online alumni were able to visit our West Point campus for the first time. Thank you to all of the alumni who made the weekend a success! Make sure to visit point.edu/homecoming in the coming months for details about next year’s Homecoming.
