Alumni from Loma Linda University’s eight professional schools, LLU-La Sierra graduates, and all current and former Medical Center and University staff members are invited to come together for a weekend of celebration, fellowship and continuing education opportunities March 2–6 on the Loma Linda University Health campus.
While Loma Linda University’s Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public Health, Allied Health Professions, Behavioral Health and Religion will each hold functions for their individual alumni, the “One Homecoming” weekend will also include many activities that will bring the groups together for joint activities and receptions.
News of the Week is highlighting different aspects of homecoming each Thursday. Read an overview and see the complete schedule. Also learn about the weekend’s spiritual programming.
