Lake Land College is calling all Lakers back to their roots for a homecoming celebration. The theme for this year’s event is “Welcome to Paradise” and is a nod to Jimmy Buffett. Graduates and past students alike are invited to revisit campus and reconnect with classmates.

Homecoming starts on Friday, September 28 with a Laker Athletic reunion in the Field House. Alumni can then enjoy the Laker volleyball game held in the Field House at 6 p.m.

After cheering on the Lady Lakers, an Alumni Recognition Banquet will be held at Mattoon Golf and Country Club on Saturday, September 29. Following the banquet, there will be a free concert at Alumni Park featuring a Jimmy Buffett cover band, The Boat Drunks. There will be food trucks and beverages at the event for all to enjoy. The college will also be hosting a Cruise Night and invites all local car clubs and classic car owners to dust off their ride and bring it out!
