Scores of John Carroll Alumni, students, and friends gathered on campus the final weekend of September for this year's Homecoming weekend. JCU graduates and their families enjoyed perfect Fall weather as the backdrop to a weekend full of athletics, events, reunions, and other happenings around campus.

 

The weekend kicked off Thursday night with our G.O.L.D. (Graduates of the Last Decade) happy hour at Hi and Dri in Tremont.

Iota Beta Gamma (IBG) teed off Friday afternoon's activities with a golf outing at the Tanglewood Club. The evening celebrations started with the Athletics Hall of Fame Induction ceremony and dinner. The 2022 Athletic Hall of Fame Class members can be found here. The celebration continued with a homecoming dance at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Beta Tau Sigma/Glee Club also held a welcome reception, Iota Beta Gamma (IBG) hosted dinner, the McCarthy Soccer Alumni Weekend kicked-off, and Iota Chi Upsilon (IXY) hosted a social gathering for former members.
