“I’m excited about Homecoming this year because it’s a fantastic opportunity for us to come together as a community and celebrate our Monarch pride,” said junior Rebekah Haigler, a Biology major who is also the Student Government Association president. “It’s not just about the events and activities; it’s about reconnecting with friends, making new memories, and honoring our University’s traditions. I encourage all students, alumni, and community members to join the festivities and show your spirit for Methodist University!”
