COLUMBIA HOMECOMING 2025
Get ready for a festive and fun-filled weekend as alumni and friends gather to enjoy on- and off-campus events!
Kick off the weekend on Friday with off-campus programming including our annual Young Alumni Party, exclusively for the Classes of 2016–25.
Then, join your Columbia family at Baker Athletics Complex on Saturday for Lunch Under the Tent — a tailgate style lunch and games for kids and adults like cornhole and giant Jenga, all while a DJ plays your favorite hits. Be sure to try your luck at competing against basketball team members in a pop-a-shot activity and then (win or lose!) get their autographs. Enjoy a guest DJ and the festive atmosphere while you get ready to cheer on the Lions!
