SLU's Homecoming and Family Weekend at Saint Louis University is three days of events
celebrating SLU that is always held the last weekend in September. The tradition dates back to the mid-1920s.
Homecoming brings the entire SLU community together —SLU alumni mingle with current
students and staff and faculty. Homecoming at Saint Louis University is also "parents
weekend" at SLU where all guardians and family members of current Billikens are invited.
