More Than 20,000 Alumni, Friends & Family Arriving On NSU Campus For Homecoming

NORFOLK

Norfolk State University kicked off its annual Alumni Homecoming 2024 celebration with an encore performance of A Musical Tribute to Luther Vandross on Sun., Oct. 20. The annual NSU Homecoming Parade, a rain or shine event, will take place Sat., Oct. 26, with the Honorable Senator L. Louise Lucas serving as the Grand Marshal. 

Each year, more than 20,000 alumni, family, friends and community come together on the campus of NSU to celebrate not only the legacy of the university, but the history and achievement of HBCUs across the Commonwealth and the United States. Although homecoming traditions have their roots in alumni football games, the term homecoming takes on a more poignant meaning at Norfolk State. 

Alumni Relations and Annual Giving staff, Alumni Association members and departments across the university have created a series of special homecoming events that honors the university’s roots and traditions that provide opportunities for alumni to celebrate, reconnect and to make new connections .

Highlights of NSU Homecoming 2024 include a host of activities and events including the NSUAA 29th Annual Alumni Classic Golf Tournament  on Thursday at the Bide-A-Wee Golf Course in Portsmouth;  Spartan SpiritFest  on  Friday at noon on the NSU campus; the NSU Homecoming Parade on Saturday at  8 a.m., at Park Avenue & Virginia Beach Blvd.; and the Homecoming Football Game – NSU vs. Howard University, on Saturday at William ‘Dick’  Price Stadium.
