Homecoming gala showcases NKU glamor
Filled with red carpet walks, velvet ropes and paparazzi, the 2014 Homecoming Gala was a night to remember as NKU students, faculty and honored guests gathered at The Madison in Covington Wednesday night.
This year’s homecoming theme is “Lights, Camera, Norse Up,” according to Homecoming Chair Matt Werner and this event exemplified that theme.
“We wanted to reflect on the idea of how NKU is in the spotlight,” Werner said.
Werner said with the university competing on a regional and national level, “We’ve been growing since day one when the flame of fame was lit for NKU.”
“We believe that NKU will stay in the spotlight and will continue to walk the red carpet of student success for years to come,” Werner said.
