This is not your typical Homecoming Court. Eight of UNCG’s brightest students comprise the Royal Court, an honor earned by students who demonstrate academic performance, curricular and co-curricular involvement, contribution to the university and the community, and – of course – Spartan spirit.
This weekend at the annual UNCG Homecoming Block Party, two members of the course will be announced as UNCG Royalty winners. These crowning jewels of the court will receive financial support for a community service project, professional development and leadership training, and be the emcees at upcoming campus events.
Without further ado, meet your 2022 Homecoming Royal Court and give them a follow on social media to see just why they are UNCG Royalty.
