The Homecoming Week festivities are in full swing on campus.

This morning the 2017 Homecoming Court was announced.

Eleven women and six men anxiously awaited to hear if their name would be called to be a part of the Homecoming Court that will be recognized in the Homecoming parade before the football game where the new king and queen will be crowned at halftime.

The Student Activities Board sponsored a performance by Ryan Quinn, who is best known for his time spent on Season 10 of the hit television show, The Voice. Quinn took a break from his performance for last year’s Homecoming King, Jonathan Hershey, and Homecoming Queen, Lakijai Bynum, to announce the top five male and female candidates who will be a part of this year’s homecoming court.
