Linfield University hosts a series of alumni and student events during Homecoming Weekend, Sept. 15-18, on its McMinnville campus.
The weekend will feature a range of activities, including the Wildcat Entertainment Board’s annual Drag Show, “Linfield’s Finest” honoring this year’s alumni award recipients and multiple home Wildcat Athletic events. Students have dubbed this year’s Homecoming theme as “Purple Reign.”
This year’s homecoming football game pits Head Coach Joe Smith ’93 against former Wildcat Jim Good ’94, head coach for Redlands. The teams last faced each other in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Division III playoffs, where Linfield won 44-10.
