Homecoming season is one of the most anticipated events for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Homecoming is much more than just a football game; it is a week-long celebration that brings together students, alumni, and guests to honor the unique and vibrant history and culture of HBCU campuses.
The week is jam-packed with fun events, such as parties, celebrity appearances, and panel discussions, that make it an unforgettable experience. Moreover, members of the Divine Nine—Black Greek letter organizations— will convene for friendly competition through step shows and stroll-offs.
Homecoming is also an important fundraising event, providing alumni with the opportunity to give back to their alma maters. It all culminates in the big game where students, alumni, and guests can tailgate, reminisce, and cheer on their teams. Additionally, the highly anticipated halftime show is a chance for the bands to showcase their impressive skills.
