NAMPA, Idaho (CBS 2) — Northwest Nazarene University just unveiled its new Conrad Student Commons building Friday on its Nampa campus.

The ribbon-cutting was part of NNU's homecoming weekend.

"NNU’s campus will be filled with activity as alumni, friends and community members come to campus to reconnect with old friends and reminisce about the memories they shared," NNU said. "A highlight of the weekend will be the dedication of the New Student Commons."

The events included a special screening of "I'll Push You," the Conrad Student Commons opening, a men's basketball game vs. California Miramar University, and more.

Event Schedule:

Men’s Basketball Game vs. California- Miramar University

• Friday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m., Johnson Sports Center
• The NNU men’s basketball team will face off against California-Miramar. There will also be a ceremony at halftime to honor Hall of Fame inductees and Alumni Award recipients, as well as to recognize those involved in 50 years of women’s athletics at NNC/NNU.

Nighthawks Fun Run/Walk

• Saturday, Nov. 9 at 10:30 a.m., Leah Peterson Learning Commons
• The 5K race will start in front of the Leah Peterson Learning Commons on east Dewey St, with awards for the top three male and female finishers. There is also a kids’ 1-mile fun run on the track immediately following the 5K. Walk-up registration and packet pick-up will open at 9:30 a.m.

Fall Play: “Inspecting Carol”

• Saturday, Nov. 9 at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 10 at 2:00 p.m., and Monday, Nov. 11 at 7:00 p.m., Little Theater
• “Inspecting Carol” is a humorous look at a community theatre struggling to produce their annual fundraiser: Dickens’s Christmas Carol. It is a play that allows a tragic misunderstanding to doom what was already a flawed portrayal of the classic story. This will be a lighthearted way to ring in the holiday season.

Homecoming Concert and Steinway Presentation

• Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m., Brandt Center
• This year's concert will feature NNU's Department of Music and honor the memory and contributions of Dr. Walden Hughes to the NNU community. In addition, there will be an exclusive Steinway presentation that features an elite Spirio player piano seen by very few in the world.
