There is still time to sign up for Defender Days!

Defender Days is a campus-wide celebration October 23 and 24, 2015. It's the biggest event of the year as students, alumni, and parents celebrate Dordt College and reunite for home sporting events, concerts, the fall theatre production, and much more. See full schedule and register here.

Are you part of the Class of '90-'93? We want to see you at the 25th Class Reunion! The reunion starts Friday at 5:30 p.m. at the President's Home. For other graduates, we have a Welcome Reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the lower level of the campus center. It's a DIY reunion: we provide the snacks; you call, text, Facebook, or tweet your plans to your classmates and get them to meet you there.

Also be sure to register for the Defender Nation Dinner. This banquet celebrates the college's 60th Reunion and will include Defender sightings, the Distinguished Alumna, and more.
