North Park alumni descended on campus for Homecoming festivities September 16- 22, bringing with them plenty of school spirit and Viking pride.
The weekend included the annual Viking Hall of Fame induction ceremony, an Alumni Art Triennial Show, a Faculty Music Showcase, and, of course, football and soccer games.
Along the way, runners participating in the North Park River Run tried their hands at “plogging,” the Swedish craze of picking up trash while jogging.
Landmark reunion parties were held by the Academy Class of ’59, along with the College Classes of ’94 and ’99. Perhaps the most poignant moment of the weekend was a special memorial service for beloved professor Dr. John R. Hjelm C’75, who passed away unexpectedly in August.
