Homecoming
Homecoming is a great time for Augusta University alumni and friends to reconnect to the campus and reunite with old friends. It is also a great time for current students to celebrate what makes Augusta University truly unique and outstanding.
The homecoming court is a part of the annual homecoming festivities at Augusta University. The purpose of the court is to recognize members of the student body who make invaluable contributions to the Augusta community and represent the core ideals of Augusta University as a student leader. Throughout the week of homecoming, these students serve as ambassadors of school spirit and pride. Voting for the king, queen, duke, and duchess will take place during the week of homecoming, and the winners will be recognized during half-time at the homecoming basketball game.
