Nebraska Methodist College alumni are shining examples of healthcare professions who make a difference in communities throughout the country and the world. Each year, homecoming is a time to flash back with old friends, celebrate glowing successes and shed light on the plans for the future of this premier institution.

Homecoming festivities continue to grow in popularity. In 2016, more than 300 people attended the Reunion Dinner and Casino Night. This year, the [NMC Alumni Association](https://www.methodistcollege.edu/about/alumni-and-community/alumni-association) invites you to join us as we turn the spotlight on the legacy of care at NMC.
