Make it a Weekend
Start your homecoming morning on Saturday, October 6 by playing (or watching) a Puma baseball alumni game at Rensselaer High School at 9 a.m.
Then join us for the official Saint Joseph’s College Alumni Association, Inc. Homecoming from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Brookside Park in Rensselear. We have reserved the pavilion, so it’s on… rain or shine!
New this year:
-
Screening of the 1956 Aluminum Bowl Game between SJC and Montana State University-Bozeman
-
New brat tent menu items
-
Credit cards now accepted for beer and brat tent tickets (with $20 minimum purchase)
​
Tell us you're coming so we can thrown on a brat for you (and set aside a pitcher or two of icy cold beer). RSVP here.
​
Dig out your SJC sweatshirt and call your college roommates to meet you in Rensselaer! It’s HOMECOMING time!
​
New this year, we will have an entire weekend of family-friendly activities: from Friday golf and Honor Class recognition to Saturday's FOOTBALL GAME and visiting in the beer and brat tent.
​
That's right, we will be screening the 1956 Aluminum Bowl game during Homecoming. It's been digitally preserved by our Archives Team and you will be among the first to see it (or see it again)!
​
If watching the game isn't your style, maybe you want to try your hand at our new Cornhole ("Bags") Tournament. The winning duo will take home a fantastic prize - and the honor of being the 2018 champions!
​​

The SJC Alumni Association, Inc. invites you to celebrate your SJC honor year on Friday, October 5 from 6-9 p.m. CDT (aka, “Homecoming Eve”) with your fellow Pumas!* In addition to recognizing Pumas who graduated in years ending in -3 and -8, we will also celebrate SJC “alumni” from 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Your $25 ticket to the Honor Class Reunion includes a selection of appetizers, two drink tickets, socializing and reminiscing with your fellow Pumas at Curtis Creek Country Club.
We will present our annual award to Dennis Black, who has served – and continues to serve – our campus (maintenance) since 2015.
