On Thursday, October 15, 2009 Alcorn celebrated its annual Homecoming Coronation.

This has been a longstanding tradition here at Alcorn State University which showcases some of its finest students based on academic merit, achievement, heavy campus involvement, and being overall positive assets to its campus and devoted servants to the student body.

The evening began a bit dreary due to the weather. However, the decorative environment, festive occasion, high spirits and positive students, alumni, and faculty helped to  transform this night into an enchanting and elegant one.

Among the participants in the coronation were: Alcorn State University Student Government Association President, Mr. Ryan Martin, Miss Alcorn State University, Miss Jessica L. Hinton, Miss Senior, Victoria Brinkley, SGA Vice President Donovan Booth, Miss Junior and Junior Class President Sheryl Carpenter and Justin Mathis, Miss Sophomore, Candace Felder, SGA 2nd Vice President Kevin Spencer, and Freshmen Class President Mr. Marcus Mercy who served as escort to Miss Freshman Megan Henderson. This select few that are voted into their respective positions by their peers make up the “Royal Court.”
