🎧️ Listen to episode 92 of the podcast, “Homecoming Through the Eyes of an HBCU President,” hosted by Leslie Ekpe, featuring Jermaine Whirl, President of Savannah State University!

“Homecoming really provides us with an opportunity to highlight the best of the institution, you know, if we do it right. It’s an annual event that allows us to show the pride of the institution to the community, and really to the world… When alums come back, they don’t come back alone; they bring someone with them. They bring a co-worker, a church member, a friend because they want them to experience what’s so unique about Savannah State.”

Listen as they discuss the significance of homecoming for students and alumni, the different programming, and how organizations like Nike and Home Depot are giving back to HBCU students.
