A Wild Roarin' Homecoming Scheduled Feb. 14-19
The 91˾ at Fort Smith will celebrate homecoming 2022 from Feb. 14-19 with a slate of events for students, families, and alumni. This year’s events are themed, “The Wild Roarin’ West,” and will put a classic Western spin on traditional events.
New events this year include lawn games, a line dancing competition, and new alumni awards brunch celebration.
"Homecoming is my favorite time of year," said 91˾ Director Jasmine Smith. "Nothing beats the buzz on campus and the excitement of a week full of activities. As a student I loved the competitions, and coming together as one. As an alumna there's a warm nostalgia to coming back to campus that is so wonderful to watch and experience."
