Homecoming Day arrived at Morgan State University on Oct. 8, bringing thousands of alumni, friends and family back to the grounds where they first formed the ties that bind them still to this day.
Hillen Road was lined with food trucks and vendors offering Morgan State University merchandise. Fraternities and sororities were set up all over campus to celebrate and greet their members as they returned home. The marching band stepped into the stadium to the roar of the crowd. At halftime, U.S. Representative Kweisi Mfume, of the 7th District, and MSU President David Wilson, Ed. D, took to the field. They received hundreds of thousands of dollars to help support the school and important initiatives. The teams then returned to the field for a very entertaining second half, with Morgan suffering a heartbreaking 24-21 loss to Norfolk State University.
According to Merriam-Webster, a “homecoming” occurs anytime there is a “return of a group of people usually on a special occasion to a place formerly frequented or regarded as home.” And if anyone knows how to return in style, it’s the alumni body of Morgan State University. Founded in 1867, the institution has boasted a proud student body that is strongly supported by those who have gone before them. Morgan alum returned to their roots in their orange and blue as mighty moguls of business, innovative engineers, teachers and working professionals.
