Homecoming court nominations opened Oct. 6 and will close Oct. 8 at 11:59 p.m. 

“Homecoming court is a fun tradition that’s been around in Trevecca for a long time, and it’s where students can vote for their peers and who they think represents their class well,” said Natalie Specht, director of student life. 

The process is divided into three rounds of elections:

1. During the first round, students nominate 10 males and 10 females from their academic class. This ballot opened Oct. 6 and will close tonight, Oct 8, at 11:59 p.m. After the ballot closes, the SGA president and vice president will select the top five most nominated students from each underclassmen class, and then they will create the second round of elections. For seniors, they will select the top ten most nominated seniors and will create the second ballot. 
2. The second round will open on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and will close on Friday, Oct. 17, at 11:59 p.m. In this round, underclassmen will vote for their representatives, while seniors will vote for their top three. After the ballot closes, the SGA president and vice president will select the top three most-voted seniors and move to the last round of elections. 
3. For the last round, all students on campus will vote for the senior king and queen. This ballot will open on Wednesday, Oct. 22, and will close on Friday, Oct. 24 at 11:59 p.m.

Court results for the king and queen will be announced during the homecoming celebrations. The homecoming court will be recognized during the male and female basketball games.

“Please nominate people. It’s no fun if nobody participates,” said Hannah Cooper, SGA vice president. “It’s most fun, even if it’s nominating your friends or just goofy suggestions, we welcome all suggestions. All nominees are applicable.”
