Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) crowned the 2024 Homecoming king and queen, Garrett Jenkins and Gracie Agee, on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024. Jenkins, a sophomore from Olive Hill, Kentucky, represents NOVA, an organization dedicated to supporting first-generation college students and others and providing a transformative undergraduate experience. Agee, a senior from Berea, Kentucky, was chosen to represent the Kappa Delta sorority.
This year’s candidates in the Homecoming royalty court included:
“Congratulations to this year’s Homecoming king and queen and royalty court! The Homecoming candidates are among our most dedicated Colonels,” said EKU President David McFaddin. “These students have made a strong impact at EKU, enough to be selected by their peers to represent their entire organization.”
Registered student organizations at EKU nominate students for Homecoming. Nominees participate in interviews with a panel of EKU alumni, and each candidate’s interview score combined with student body votes, determines the Homecoming royalty court and winners.
