Homecoming at Neumann University is more than a weekend of fun and festivities—it’s a living expression of our Franciscan tradition of community, welcome, and joy.

When Neumann College first began celebrating Homecoming decades ago, the gatherings were simple: alumni returning to reconnect with classmates, cheer on the Knights, and share memories of their time on campus. As the university grew, so did the meaning of Homecoming. It became a true family reunion—one where students, alumni, faculty, staff, and neighbors from Aston and the surrounding community gathered on campus, united by a common bond: Neumann’s mission of learning, faith, and service.

Over the years, traditions have blossomed. Tailgates and athletic contests brought spirit and energy to campus. Student-run events gave current Knights a sense of pride and ownership in building memories alongside alumni. Community partners joined in, adding local flavor with food, music, and support. In a former role, Megan Camp helped weave even more school spirit into Homecoming, introducing pep rallies, the King and Queen Talent Contest, door decorating, and concerts—traditions that deepened Knight pride and built connections across campus.

Though many iterations have come and gone, each one continues to reflect the pride of the Neumann Knights as we welcome alumni, students, families, and friends back to campus. Today, Homecoming remains not only a time to celebrate athletic victories or enjoy fall festivities, but an opportunity to witness how our Franciscan values shape the Neumann experience across generations. We look forward to the ever-changing landscape of Homecoming—rooted in tradition, yet always blooming with the energetic vision of our students.
