Homecoming

2025 Dates

Homecoming in Louisville	Thursday and Friday, May 29 – 30
Virtual Homecoming	Thursday and Friday, June 26 – 27

Reconnect with your Spalding family each year at Homecoming!

Homecoming takes place twice each year! In late May/early June, Homecoming takes place in person at the on-campus Spring residency. Next comes Virtual Homecoming during the virtual summer residency in late June. You can join in no matter where you are in the world.

Hosted by the Spalding MFA Alumni Association, on-campus Homecoming offers alumni-led programming, a pop-up book sale, and social events including a pizza party at nearby Noble Funk Brewing. Virtual Homecoming offers a host of opportunities to gather and learn. And both versions of Homecoming feature the Alumni Celebration of New Works, a reading and (at the on-person version) a book signing for alums who’ve published a book or had a film or play produced in the past year.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni donors and the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing, registration is free for all participants. We hope to see you there!
