The Greatest Homecoming on Earth is now over and will not be returning again for over 300 days. However, the title “GHOE” did live up to its name! Many people believe homecoming only involves a football game, tailgating, the band, and the cheerleaders. Here at our illustrious university, our homecoming, also known as GHOE, is a celebrated event that lasts a week.
Throughout the week, we host many events for both students and alumni which starts the Sunday before the weekend of the homecoming game, and doesn’t end until the Sunday after the Saturday homecoming football game.
