Homecoming

Homecoming 2022 was a big success welcoming hundreds of visitors to campus.

The week offered many opportunities for students and community members to come together beginning with a movie night in Stone Stadium on Monday, the annual 5K run Tuesday, and a pep rally Wednesday.

The day of homecoming started with welcoming Co-Lin retirees back to campus with a brunch held in the President’s home. The annual Alumni Awards Reception honored Dr. Michael Henderson as Alumnus of the Year. The Athletic Alumni Association inducted five new Hall of Fame members: Chris Caughman, basketball; Latoria Holder, basketball; the late Tim Johnson, tennis and football; Matt Mooney, golf; and Chandler Rodgers, football. The Band & Colette Alumni chapter inducted Becky Yarbrough into its Hall of Fame and recognized Robert D. Bush as the Stanley Stewart Outstanding Young Alumnus.

The tailgate was busy with people of all ages celebrating before kickoff against MGCCC. The Sports Hall of Fame inducted were recognized during pregame festivities, and Homecoming Queen Ty’China Byrd and her court were honored during halftime.
