The time has come. It is Homecoming Week and we are days away from discovering who our Homecoming King and Queen for 2015 will be. Last week we featured the gentleman of the royal court here: http://www.hercampus.com/school/jcu/campus-celebrity-homecoming-court-2015-gentlemen , and now we are featuring the ladies.
