The "grand celebration" of SLU's 200th year was marked with campus trolley tours, a street festival, carnival games, performances and a spectacular fireworks show.
The 2018 Homecoming events got underway Thursday, Sept. 27, with the Alumni Merit Recognition Ceremony. The School of Nursing celebrated its 90th anniversary and SLU School of Law marked 175 years since the first law school class was held in 1843.
