“Beneath the shade of giant trees,” Alcorn State University is gearing up to host The Greatest Homecoming of All Time. The 2024 Homecoming celebration, themed College Hill: Brave Edition, will be held Sunday, September 29, through Saturday, October 5, 2024.

Prepare for a week filled with exhilarating events hosted by various campus organizations, including both new events and alumni favorites. Among the highlights are a Comedy Show, the Spirit Jam Pep Rally, a Fashion / Talent Show, the electrifying NPHC Step Show, Movie Night with the Prez, and a high-energy Battle of the DJs on the Campus Plaza.

In a momentous occasion, Alcorn will also host the Inauguration of Dr. Tracy M. Cook ‘94, the university’s 21st president. This historic event will kick off with a worship service, followed by the grand Investiture Ceremony, an unforgettable concert featuring southern soul artists, and a Fall Food Truck Festival boasting over 15 unique culinary vendors.

Adding to the excitement, we will celebrate “A Brave New World” the coronation of the 98th Miss Alcorn State University, Ariel Knott, and the 4th Mister Alcorn, Jeremiah Farmer, in a night of refined elegance.

The week culminates in the homecoming parade and football game on Saturday, October 5. The Braves will battle it out against the Golden Lions of the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff.

The homecoming committee warmly invites all faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, and supporters to join in this celebration as we gather where “the grass is greener, the air is cleaner, and the water is just a little bit sweeter.”
