There's No Place Like Home(coming)
There’s truly no place like UIW during Homecoming—a time when the Incarnate Word family from near and far returns to the start of their journey. As we gather under the theme There’s No Place Like Home(coming), we celebrate the familiar faces, the lasting friendships, and the Mission that first brought us together. With a subtle nod to a well-loved story, we’re reminded that no matter where life has taken us, the Incarnate Word spirit—full of courage, heart, and wisdom—guides us back. It’s more than a weekend; it’s a homecoming in every sense, where the past and present meet, and the UIW family reunites once again.
50th Reunion - Class of 75
We are excited to welcome back the class of 1975 as we celebrate their 50th reunion during Homecoming this fall. As a special highlight of this year’s 50th reunion, we are thrilled to announce the induction of the class of 1975, as well as past 50th reunion classes, into the newly established Golden Spire Society. The induction ceremony, taking place during the 50th Reunion Brunch, will be a heartfelt tribute to your legacy and achievements
