Class Reunions

October 3-5, 2025

Luther College class reunions are a time to renew and deepen connections, revisit cherished traditions, reconnect with campus, and celebrate with good friends.

Homecoming 2025 is just around the corner, and registration is officially open! Alumni from classes ending in ‘0s and ‘5s are invited back for reunion celebrations. Make plans to come back for your reunion, take part in the traditions of Homecoming, and celebrate the inauguration of Luther’s 12th president, Bradley M. Chamberlain, Ph.D.
