La Grande, Ore. — Eastern Oregon University (EOU), along with EOU Athletics, the EOU Foundation, and the EOU Alumni Association, extends a heartfelt thank-you to all who braved the cold and rain to take part in the 2025 Homecoming festivities.
Alumni, friends, families, students, and guests gathered throughout the weekend to reconnect at events including the Alumni Association Tailgate Zone, the annual Fun Run, the Mountaineer March Homecoming Parade, and alumni athletic matchups.
EOU’s Ag Club took home this year’s Parade Cup Trophy, with the Chemistry Club recognized as runner-up for their creativity, enthusiasm, and design among dozens of parade entries.
EOU also extends special thanks to our proud community partners, Benchwarmers–Family Friendly Pub & Grill for sponsoring the Mountaineer March, Nate Conklin State Farm for sponsoring the MAA golf scramble, and Legacy Ford for powering this year’s Tailgate Zone.
“Homecoming brings together the heart of what makes EOU special — the people who love this place,” said Rich Sipe, Chair of the EOU Alumni Association Board. “Even with the weather challenges, our Mountaineer spirit shone bright all weekend.”
EOU extends its appreciation to Athletics, student volunteers, Facilities, Event Services, A/V and IT, Security, University Advancement, and all campus and community partners whose collaboration ensured a successful and spirited celebration.
Plans are already underway for next year’s Homecoming, and the University looks forward to welcoming Mountaineers back to campus once again.
