| Marching in the Parade |
Homecoming is a traditional time in which institutions welcome back past residents and alumni. While a popular tradition at many institutions across the United States, Maryville College homecoming is special one. With a week of activities prior to homecoming weekend, students have many ways to show their excitement for "being a Scot". During homecoming weekend, current students share the campus with faculty and alumni as they show their school spirit. On Saturday, October 23rd, in preparation for the homecoming football game, Global Citizenship Organization proudly represented our diverse community at Maryville College while participating in the annual Homecoming Parade. Students wore traditional clothing from around the world and carried the flags of some countries represented within our campus community this year.
