Meet this year’s Homecoming Court before casting your vote.

Homecoming Royalty

For alumni, Homecoming is about coming back to a place you called home and reconnecting with friends and mentors. For current students, it is also an opportunity to celebrate our time together and show pride in our school.

With that in mind, SGA is proud to sponsor the Homecoming Royalty* selection process. It is designed to honor members of the senior class who have made a significant contribution to the life of the University. Applications are reviewed by a faculty/staff panel nominated by students.

The nominees selected—based on their leadership, commitment to service, involvement, and school spirit—serve on the Homecoming Court. Based on a vote of the student body, two members of the court will be honored as Homecoming Royalty during the Homecoming football game.

Information for Homecoming Court members

  • Candidates are encouraged to “Paint an E”! Participating in painting an “E” will help a candidate earn points toward their campaign.
  • Candidates may be interviewed by 鶹Ƶ News Network.
  • The court is asked to attend the Homecoming football game, be on the field at halftime for court introductions, and be crowned between the third and fourth quarters.

* In 2016, SGA moved to a more inclusive process and removed gender from the crowning. The current structure allows all students to be recognized by their peers and celebrated in ways that are not restricted by gender.

Application

Applications for 2026 Homecoming Royalty are now closed. The application deadline was Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
