Homecoming 2021 was a joyful reunion at Virginia State University, where hundreds of alumni returned for a weekend of events under the theme “Back Home on the Hill.” Last Saturday was a real highlight, with people setting up tents and enjoying food, music and conversation at campus tailgates. The Trojans football team scored a big 27-7 victory against Lincoln University before a cheering crowd at Rogers Stadium. Members of the VSU Royal Court strutted during halftime. Mr. VSU, Isaiah Matthews-Braxton of North Carolina, and Miss VSU, Ashlee Gray of Maryland, enjoyed a glitzy and glamourous official coronation ceremony earlier during homecoming week, where the inaugural Little Miss VSU, 5-year-old Jae Coleman, was crowned.
