It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Alumni “Return to Campus” Homecoming 2025 of THE Allen University.

You are part of—and witness to—the continued resurgence of our beloved alma mater. Alumni membership is increasing, and alumni presence on campus, as well as participation and attendance at athletic events, is rising. Your involvement is critical to shaping the mindset of our students. As seasoned alumni, your perspective is invaluable to the next generation of students and Pre-Alums as they map out their paths.

We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us—not only as donors and contributors, but as trailblazers, tutors, and mentors to those finding their way. Each generation builds on the one before it. It is our obligation to be available to help others navigate a path that is both fulfilling and rewarding. Every time you carry the name “Allen University” proudly, you contribute to her becoming all that she can be.

No single person is responsible for making this weekend one you’ll remember until the next. It is the culmination of the efforts of many individuals united by a single goal: to make this homecoming unforgettable. My sincere thanks to all who worked to make this happen.

Sincerely, Lamar Brown President, AUAA
