posted by Nicholas Robinson-Carter | October 25, 2022 | In NewsOn October 6, the 155th Fayetteville State University annual coronation took place at the Felton J. Capel Arena as part of the All About the Blue 2022 Homecoming festivities.
This year’s theme was The Great Gatsby: Fabulous Fashion & Fancy Footwork. Not only was it a special night, bringing back the nostalgic feel of the ‘Roaring ‘20s,’ but the Homecoming court as well as Mr. and Miss FSU were crowned.
Students from Greek organizations, academic clubs and activity groups that were being honored were given prime seating at tables on the floor. Each of the students that were involved were dressed in their Sunday best or ballroom gowns fitting to the theme.
Mr. and Miss representatives from various student clubs and organizations walked across the stage with their escorts as a short bio about each person was read, including information on what the students will do after graduating from FSU.
There was an extravagant dance number from FSU’s Black Millennium Modeling Club (BMMC). The performance had the crowd jumping out of their seats. Even our 28th Mr. and 81st Miss FSU joined in on the fun.
The ceremony was also a celebration and crowning of Miss Fayetteville State University 2022-2023 Asia Hammock and Mr. Fayetteville State University 2022-2023 Issiah McLean.
A video was displayed honoring the royal court’s philanthropical work and what they do for the university. It showcased their Bronco pride and commitment to their academics.
Ending the ceremony on a magical note, the seven candidates running for Homecoming king and queen were announced. Out of the five ladies that ran for Homecoming Queen and the two gentlemen that ran for Homecoming King, only two would be crowned.
The winner for the 2022 Homecoming Queen was Mariah Barnhill and the winner for the 2022 Homecoming King was J. Reid. Congratulations to all the participants involved in this special event.
