This year, everything was a little different, including Homecoming. North Park friends and alumni still celebrated from home, though, with festivities including a Reunion & Awards Brunch, where North Park alumni healthcare workers were honored. The program recognized those working on the frontlines of the global pandemic and the faculty and staff who have prepared them to do so.

The weekend was capped off with a Virtual Class Reunion for several milestone graduation classes.
