Manage episode 317630009 series 3132657
Have you ever had a “Homecoming Hook-up”? Are you looking for a hook-up or a Relationship? Do you have any Homecoming Rituals?
What does college homecoming mean? The Cambridge Dictionary defines homecoming as “a celebration at school or college, usually including a dance and a football game, when people who were students there at an earlier time can return to visit” (dictionary.cambridge.org). This is particularly true of American university culture and Historically Black College and Universities.
The tradition of Homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at colleges and universities since the 19th century. It appears to be the first homecoming-like event which was centered on a parade and a football game and celebrated as an annual event. While the games and reunion activities are a hit, hooking up with an old homecoming fling or boo seems to be a pandora's box that some enthusiastically embrace and some not so much.
What other way to capture the narrative, CCC engages their beloved HBCU alumni during homecoming with a Live Interactive Podcast "The Homecoming Hook-Up". The topic gets pretty hot and steamy and ignites memories long forgotten.
