March 6, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – Siena Heights University invites alumni, students, faculty, staff, families, and friends to campus for its final Spring Alumni Weekend and Homecoming April 17-19, 2026. As the University prepares to close at the end of the 2026 academic year, this special weekend will serve as one last opportunity for the Saints community to gather, celebrate traditions, and create lasting memories together.

This milestone celebration will reflect the spirit, pride, and connection that have defined generations of Siena Heights Saints. From theater performances and athletic competitions to alumni honors and cherished traditions, the weekend will offer meaningful ways for the entire community to reconnect.

“Our final Homecoming at Siena Heights University is more than a celebration – it is an opportunity for students, alumni, and friends of the university to come together in a way that reflects who we have always been,” said Kate Hamilton, Vice President for Advancement and Alumni Relations.

“As a Catholic university founded and sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters, our mission calls us to help people become more competent, purposeful, and ethical in a community that respects the dignity of all,” Kate said. “Homecoming gives us the chance to honor that mission by gathering in gratitude, celebrating lifelong relationships, and recognizing the impact Siena Heights has had on so many lives. Inspired by our patron, St. Catherine of Siena, who urged us to ‘be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire,’ we hope this final Homecoming is a time of pride, joy, and connection that carries our spirit forward long after the weekend ends.”
