The Warm Up: The Original UNCG HoCo Alumni Kickoff Party

For more than two decades, the black alumni experience has been pivitol and this kickoff has been where Spartans reconnect, old friends find each other, and Homecoming weekend officially gets started. This year, we’re celebrating 23 years of the Black Alumni Homecoming Experience at UNCG — and for our #JordanYear, we’re doing Friday night a little differently.
