Falcon Flight Crew

Introducing something new! Falcons Assemble!

On October 18, 2025, Falcons of all ages will assemble as the Falcon Flight Crew to fly through the Homecoming 2025 parade! We want every Friends Falcon to join together and walk in the parade as a group. All ages are welcome!

T-shirts can be purchased for this event, or you are welcome to wear your favorite Friends University swag!

If you do not live in the area, we welcome you to join the Falcon Flight Crew by purchasing a t-shirt and then sharing a photo with alumni@friends.edu. Can’t make it in person on the day? Send us a picture and we will include it in a picture collage from the day.

On the morning of the parade, we will gather at 11:15 a.m. to prepare for the walk down University Street.

Let’s show up and show off our Falcon pride!

Note: For those who live in the Wichita area, t-shirts must be picked up the week of Homecoming or the morning of October 18. We’ll send out details about the location closer to the event.

After the parade, join us as we cheer on our Falcon football team at the Adair-Austin Stadium as they take on McPherson College. Enjoy a variety of delicious food trucks along St. Clair Street. Alumni receive FREE admission to the football game. Just enter through the Alumni Entrance.
