The university hosts the week-long events in hopes of bringing students, alumni and parents together.
On Friday, Salisbury experienced a first for homecoming with SGA hosting a flock fest in red square. The event celebrated the unique factors that make Salisbury, Salisbury. The energy in the crowd was intense as the community celebrated the diversity of the many organizations that performed during the event.
