    No HBCU does science and engineering quite like Tuskegee University which produces culture-shifters, scholastic stalwarts, and STEM stunners who returned to their alma mater to slay and parlay at one of the buzziest Homecomings in HBCU Land.

    Located in the heart of Tuskegee, Alabama (40 miles east of the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery), the private institution is the only HBCU with a fully accredited College of Veterinary Medicine.

    Founded In 1881 by Booker T. Washington, the historic University started with only two small converted buildings, no equipment, and very little funding.

    By 1888, the 540-acre Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute had an enrollment of more than 400 and offered training in skilled trades like carpentry, cabinet-making, printing, shoemaking, and tinsmithing.

    Over the past century, “various social and historical changes transformed Tuskegee into a diverse place of learning whose fundamental purpose is to develop leadership, knowledge, and service for a global society,” according to its site.

    Committed deeply to academic excellence, the highly-ranked University recognizes that exquisite talent is often hidden in students whose finest development requires unusual educational, personal, and financial reinforcement.

    Notable alumni include Lionel Richie, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Tom Joyner, Rickey Smiley, Betty Shabazz, Ralph Ellison, Marilyn Mosby, and Love Island it girl Olandria Carthen.

    You know we had to salute those mighty Spartans of Norfolk State University known for its vibrant campus culture, authentic tidewater vibes, and spectacular Spartan Legion band in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia (across the bridge from pesky rival Hampton University).

    Founded in 1935 as the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University during the Great Depression, the comprehensive urban public institution is “committed to transforming students’ lives through exemplary teaching, research, and service” while fostering a “supportive academic and culturally diverse environment for all,” per its official site.

    Dedicated to empowering its students to turn aspirations into reality as well-rounded citizens and leaders for the 21st century, NSU recently made headlines by receiving a record-breaking $50 million gift from Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.

    In 2020, Scott gifted the university $40 million and was consistently briefed by President Javaune Adams-Gaston on the progress being made at the institution.

    “This $50M gift will catapult Norfolk State to its next level of excellence,” wrote the university in a statement.

    “President Adams-Gaston and administrators are grateful for the enormous vote of confidence Ms. Scott has placed in the institution and its ability to provide positive outcomes for our students.”

    Notable NSU alum include J.B. Smoove, Tim Reid, Jawn Murray, Pee Wee Kirkland, Yvonne B. Miller (the first Black woman to be elected to the state house), and more.

  • Spelhouse Step Show Kicks Off Homecoming 2025

    Alumni and students gathered under the night sky, illuminated by the stage lights on the Spelman lawn. Students’ rhythmic stomps and chants of the Divine Nine electrified the crowd as Spelhouse students, alumni, and families gathered for the 2025–2026 Homecoming Step Show.

    Each year, the homecoming step show brings together Spelman and Morehouse students, alumni, and families to celebrate a cultural legacy that extends far beyond the stage. The event, was the kickoff to the tailgate weekend with sororities and fraternities performing routines that blended their unique craftsmanship while honoring the alumni who came before, while remixing it with contemporary music and themes.

    This year, the Eta Kappa chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. brought the heat with a chef-themed performance that had the crowd on its feet. Dressed in crisp chef whites, the Deltas “cooked” to a playlist featuring GloRilla’s “Let Em Cook.” Their creative execution and sharp choreography earned them the top prize among the sororities. The night’s emcee, Jaden Palmer-Waldron, a junior finance major from Philadelphia and vice president of the Campus Alliance for Student Activities (CASA), kept the energy high throughout the show. “Events like this show the dedication our students have day in and day out,” Palmer-Waldron said. “It’s about celebrating their hard work, balancing school, and building something for the future. We need to invest in that.”

    For many in the audience, their victory carried a deeper meaning. Alison Kean Wright, class of 1986 and a proud alumna member of Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated, said the performance transported her back to her own college years. “I used to step, so it brings back memories,” Wright said. “I definitely can’t do what they can do now, but it’s all about tradition and celebrating our sorority and our chapter.”

    Another Delta and advisor to the current chapter, Joni Johnson Williams, class of 1987, said mentoring today’s members of the Eta Kappa chapter keeps her connected to the organization’s legacy. “Their energy and enthusiasm remind me why I wanted to be a member in the first place,” Williams said. “They always bring new ideas, and it keeps the tradition alive.”

    The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. followed with a creative Squid Game-themed routine that turned the arena into a neon-lit performance. 

    The fraternity competition was equally fierce. The men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. delivered a cinematic performance inspired by ancient Egypt, complete with mummy-wrapped costumes and a museum-themed storyline that morphed into a high-energy dance sequence. Their set paid homage to Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” while mixing in contemporary hip-hop music; ultimately winning them first prize for the fraternities. 

    Zion Horn, a senior software engineering major from Chicago, said the team’s performance was the product of practice and focus. “Hard work and practice lead to preparation,” Horn said. “Even when you don’t see the results, you keep going. The crowd’s reaction made every step worth it.”

    Photo by Tabius McCoy/The Atlanta Voice

    Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (the “Q-Dogs”) capped off the night with a funk-filled spectacle straight out of the 1970s. Dressed in open-collar shirts, Afros, and flared pants, the Qs strutted down a Soul Train line to tunes such as “That’s the Way (I Like It)” by KC & The Sunshine Band, aiming to embody the spirit of the disco era with charisma and rhythm.

    For first-year Spelman student Haley Buckner, a health science major from Nashville, the step show represented her first real taste of Spelhouse spirit. “It’s fun, the sisterhood, coming together, and having a break from studying,” Buckner said. “You really feel the energy of Spelhouse.”
