Top HBCU Homecomings 2016

At a historically black college and university (HBCU), few moments top the experiences gained during homecoming festivities. Not only is this celebratory period a time to gather in the name of school spirit, black pride, and fellowship.. it is a time for undergraduate and graduate students to fall deeper in love with their campus, a time for proud alumni to reunite, a time for prospective students to get a taste of life on campus, and it is a time where the entire African American community is encouraged to convene for a great day of fun. Homecoming events typically feature big name artists — though they do not have to have a celebrity to be a phenomenal experience. In addition to a concert, HBCU homecomings typically feature a fashion show, greek-letter organization step show, scholarship or alumni banquet, the football game, and of course — tons of parties.

From campus to campus, homecomings are revered but it is that time of year where we ask you… which HBCU has the best homecoming? Population has nothing to do with it. Neither do celebrities. It is about the experience in its entirety. The band. The students. The alumni. The football game. The HBCU pride in the air..
