Applications for the 2018 Homecoming Court are due Sunday, Sept. 30, by 11:59 p.m. The applications are open to undergraduate students graduating this academic year who are on campus this fall.
The Homecoming Court is a longstanding tradition at Syracuse University and plays an important role during Orange Central. The court is a prestigious group of seniors who embody Orange Pride with their academic achievement, extracurricular involvement and consistent display of school spirit.
Students can be nominated by a member of the campus community or can self-nominate. Then, applicants are interviewed and selected by the Homecoming Court Selection Committee. The king and queen are chosen by an online vote and crowned during Orange Central.
After the packed schedule of events during Orange Central, the Homecoming Court then assists with the planning of Senior Celebration.
Applications are available on the Homecoming Court Application website. Questions should be emailed to Matt Shaler, program coordinator in the Office of Student Activities, at mjshaler@syr.edu.
