The Graceland University campuses are buzzing with excitement for the 2025-26 academic year.
After a looong quiet summer on our campuses,
they’re coming to life again!
Pre-season move-in is happening in Lamoni these days, with student-athletes and international students arriving, getting registered and oriented and settled in, making new connections, and making themselves at home.
Whether it’s returning or new students, whether they just flew in from Stuttgart or drove in from St. Louis: their Graceland experience (re-)starts now.
And Graceland University faculty and staff, Yellowjacket coaches and house presidents agree: We’re so glad you’re back, we’re so glad you’re here!
