REGIONAL GATHERINGS REPLACE HOMECOMING 2025​:
For 2025, BJU will not host its annual Homecoming on campus.  As we prepare for the larger than normal crowds during the centennial year Homecoming (2026), the Alumni Relations Department decided to bring a little bit of “home” closer to you with regional gatherings.  This fall, we will host 9 regional gatherings in locations spread throughout the East and Midwest. The locations were chosen based on where the largest number of alumni live.  More details will be coming soon, but for now, save the date for one of the fall regional gatherings closest to you.

ALLEN JACOBS MEMORIAL PRAYER BREAKFAST​:
Friday, Mar. 14 was the 9th annual Allen Jacobs Memorial Prayer Breakfast at Bob Jones University. Held in honor of Officer Allen Jacobs and other officers in Greenville County who have been killed in the line of duty.

BIBLE CONFERENCE OFFERING TOTAL:
Last week, God used thousands of BJU students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and friends to raise over $122,000 for Jonathan’s House in the Central African Republic.  As the international director of Jonathan’s House, Donna Bixby (‘96) traveled from CAR to attend Bible Conference and personally share with students the needs and real-life victories of the JH ministry. 

GIVING TREE FUNDRAISER TOTAL:
Well done, BJU alumni!  Through the annual Giving Tree fundraiser, the Lord is using you as a community to tangibly support two of our members, David and Ruth Zellers, as they rebuild following Hurricane Helene.  Your prayers, encouraging notes and a financial gift of over $31,000 are beautifully described in David Zeller’s words below:

BJU ALUMNI IN NEED:
Each year during the start of the holiday season, the BJU Alumni Relations Department hosts the annual Giving Tree fundraiser, dedicated to helping an alum in need. Last year, your compassion was on full display as you generously gave a record-breaking amount to support a young alumni family! 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BJU BOARD MEETING:
Online undergraduate degrees, enhanced financial aid packages and the approval of the revised FY 2025 budget highlighted the fall meeting of the Bob Jones University Board of Trustees recently held on the University campus.
