During the UI Homecoming Week, several events take place leading up to the Hawkeyes’ Homecoming game on Saturday. In the spirit of this week, we asked five individuals about their favorite part of Homecoming.

UI student Austin Benson

“My favorite part of Homecoming Week is our sense of pride in our school.”

UI student Lindsey Moore

“Probably the game is my favorite part.  Getting to see everyone come together wearing black and gold.”

UI student Keion McNeal

“Just to get to know more people, actually. Networking.”

UI student Jazmine Davis

“Definitely Iowa SHOUT.  I’m performing in it tonight, and I’m super excited to be a part of that.”

UI student Miguel Jacobo

“My favorite part of Homecoming Week is just the feel of all the university getting together and having a great time, and enjoying the parade, all the activities, and overall, the football game.”
