Homecoming 2020 in pictures
Tulane University’s Wave’20-at-Home featured several events and activities for Homecoming, Reunion and Family Week last week. Virtual events included an opening celebration with the introduction of the Homecoming court, the annual Lighting of McAlister, cooking demonstrations and reunion webinars. This year’s Tipping Point concert, an annual fundraising concert that supports student scholarships, was livestreamed and featured a line-up of top local acts and guest appearances.
While virtual events took place throughout the week, there were in-person activities and festivities, such as homecoming-themed giveaways and window decorating across campus.
On Friday, the Green Wave took on the nationally ranked Southern Methodist University Mustangs in Yulman Stadium. Fans had the option of virtually tailgating ahead of the matchup, and a limited number of fans attended the game while socially distanced. The Green Wave fought valiantly, losing by three points in overtime, 37-34, that also featured performances by the Tulane University Marching Band (TUMB), the Tulane Cheerleading squad, the Shockwave Dance Team and the Tulane Color Guard.
