The SAU Homecoming Court is selected through a two-step interview process.

Once a student is officially on the court, students have a chance to campaign for the position of SAU’s 2019 Homecoming King and Homecoming Queen.
The theme for this year’s Homecoming is “(Mule) Ride the Storm.” SAU’s Homecoming events begin Monday, October 14, and last through Saturday, October 19. The presentation of Homecoming royalty will be Saturday, Oct. 19, starting at 2 p.m. The game will follow with kickoff starting at 2:30 p.m.
