From go-kart races and drone races to boat races, from barbecue and rope pulling to bot fighting, and from the new Air Dome to Crowder in concert, Homecoming & Family Weekend gives you plenty of reasons to come back to campus.

But some of the best moments are the simplest ones: seeing old friends, reconnecting with classmates, walking familiar paths, and making a few new memories along the way.

This photo takes us back to the go-kart races in 2022. This fall, we hope you’ll be part of what comes next.

Make your plans for Homecoming & Family Weekend and come home to LeTourneau.

In 1993, YellowJackets showed up.

Homecoming ’93 was one of the largest LeTourneau had seen up to that point, welcoming more than 300 alumni back to campus for reunions, meals, special events, and plenty of time reconnecting with old friends.

A lot has changed since 1993. The campus has grown. New buildings have taken their place alongside familiar ones. There are a few more generations of YellowJackets with stories of their own. And we're celebrating 80 years of LeTourneau impact!

But one thing hasn’t changed—Homecoming is better when you’re here.

Homecoming & Family Weekend is just one month away, Oct. 1–3, and we’d love to see another great crowd of alumni, families, and friends back on campus.

So, what do you say, YellowJackets?

Can 2026 give Homecoming ’93 a run for its money? 😄

Come celebrate with us! Make your plans and register today: letu.edu/homecoming

Thank You for Building with Purpose!

Now that the Athletic & Human Performance Air Dome is complete, open, and already serving LeTourneau students, we want to thank you again.

What began as a vision is now a space where students can train, compete, and even grow together throughout the year.

To everyone whose generosity helped make this possible: thank you.

Your investment is already at work, creating opportunities for today’s YellowJackets and generations still to come.

Concrete poured at Abbott Aviation!

This morning, crews poured concrete for the Abbott Aviation renovation and expansion—another step forward as the project continues.

There’s something encouraging about seeing a new slab go down. What was once only part of a plan is becoming a foundation for the spaces where future LeTourneau aviation students will learn and prepare their work ahead.

Thank you to everyone whose generosity continues to move this project—and LETU Aviation—forward. More updates and photos to come!

Behind every scholarship is a student.

A student with a story. A calling. A semester full of challenges, opportunities, decisions, and moments when prayer matters.

That’s part of what makes Coffee Club special.

Coffee Club members give $10 each month to support student scholarships at LeTourneau, but the connection doesn’t stop with the gift. Each week, members are introduced to a different LETU student and receive specific ways to pray for them.

It’s a simple reminder that generosity is ultimately about people—and an opportunity to support students both financially and prayerfully as they prepare to serve the Father.

Coffee. Prayer. Purpose.

We like to build things here at LeTourneau.

Sometimes, though, building something new means first tearing something down.

In 1971, as LeTourneau prepared for new campus development, students organized themselves into groups to remove old frame buildings, repair buildings that would remain, improve the appearance of campus, and even help conserve funds for other needs.

One Saturday morning, the Student Senate took on the demolition of the former computer center, which needed to be removed to make way for the developing mall. Students surprised everyone by getting started at 1:00 a.m.—and finished the job in record time.

They weren’t only giving their labor, either. LeTourneau students had also pledged $10,000 in cash to help the college meet its financial goals.

There’s an interesting connection between that moment and what’s happening on campus today.

The development that followed would include the Memorial Student Center, a building that served generations of YellowJackets. More than five decades later, the MSC itself has now been demolished to make way for the Christian Polytechnic University Center currently taking shape on the same ground.

At LeTourneau, one generation builds for the next.

Buildings change. The campus grows. But behind every project is the same purpose: creating places where students can gather to learn, grow in their faith, and prepare to serve wherever God calls them.

From the students who picked up hammers in 1971 to those investing in LeTourneau’s future today, we keep building with purpose.

Buildings change. Spaces are renovated. Shelves move, technology advances, and a university campus continues to grow.

But a great university has never been defined simply by its buildings.

It’s what happens inside them.

For generations, LeTourneau students have walked into the Margaret Estes Davis Library to study, wrestle with new ideas, work alongside classmates, prepare for exams, and gain the knowledge that equips them for the lives ahead.

The library may look different today, but its purpose remains remarkably familiar: creating a place where students can learn, grow, and prepare for what God has called them to do.

Then and now, the most important part of any space at LeTourneau has always been the students who fill it.
