NC A&T Aggies Kick Off The “Greatest Homecoming On Earth” Virtual Edition
If you’ve ever been to an HBCU college homecoming than you understand there is none better than NC A&T State University’s in Greensboro, NC. Okay, I’m a little biased – A&T Class of ’88. Anyway, during this time of the year, the historically black college is usually the center of college football, tailgating, day parties, concerts, step shows and parades.
However, this year will be different. Because of the pandemic, you won’t find the nearly 100,000 people who would normally converge on Greensboro to celebrate homecoming. Instead, there will be no in-person or physical activities on the campus at all. That includes no game will be played.
University officials want all Aggies and Alumni to enjoy the homecoming experience at home. All live events will be streamed on the university’s homecoming website. They emphasize no one should come to the campus. Please see below for an overview of NC A&T Homecoming Schedule:
