Homecoming 2026: Carrying Tradition Forward

Homecoming at Defiance College is a time to return, reconnect, and celebrate what it means to be a Yellow Jacket. This year, we’re Carrying Tradition Forward as we honor the people, friendships, and experiences that have shaped Defiance College while looking ahead to the next 175 years.

Join fellow alumni, students, families, friends, and members of the community for a Homecoming filled with familiar traditions and new memories. Reconnect with classmates, cheer on the Yellow Jackets, explore campus, celebrate milestone reunions, and enjoy a full weekend of activities designed to bring the DC community together.

The traditions are ours to carry forward—and the next chapter starts with all of us. We can’t wait to welcome you home.
