The homecoming experience is something that should not be missed. Especially, when it is a homecoming at a southern Historically Black College or University. Homecoming marks the arrival alumni, friends, and family of Tuskegee University. This is my first time experiencing a real college homecoming and I was not disappointed. The theme this year was The T.R.U.T.H: Transcending the Rebirth of Unforgettable Tuskegee Homecoming.

The first event that I went to was the the Tuskegee University 2012 Homecoming Gala. I was one of the campus kings and queens. I had the honor to represent the biology department as Mr. Biology with Miss Biology, Jade Johnson.

The next activity was the Tuskegee Bazaar. They had stalls selling merchandise all the way down Campus Avenue.

That night we had one of the most anticipated events of homecoming, the Wale Concert. Wale, pronounced Wah-lay, is a internationally known rapper out of Washington D.C. I was surprised that he was going to have a concert at Tuskegee, but now I know that Tuskegee is full of surprises. The concert was fantastic!
