Morgan State University has canceled its homecoming for the first time in school history after a campus shooting that injured five people. With suspects still at large and prior experiences with gun violence around homecoming events, the university decided to cancel most homecoming festivities. Homecoming celebrations are important for many Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as they provide opportunities for networking, fundraising, and connecting with alumni.
