Upcoming Homecoming events at BBC

Laura Gonzalez // Entertainment Director

While homecoming week is always seen as an MMC event, BBC has its own lineup of entertainment. BBC events focus on community building, and feature a wide range of interests.

Caribbean Fest, which took place on Tuesday, Oct. 20 allowed students to celebrate Caribbean culture, music and food, and today has back to back events with Rory’s Birthday Extravaganza to start off the morning and the Panther’s Got Talent Homecoming event to end the night on MMC. The celebration will take place in Panther Square from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Rory’s birthday is important because he’s the image of FIU, he makes panthers proud to celebrate his birthday. Rory deserves to enjoy it!” said Santiago Guzman, an asian studies major.

The week ends with LXV Lounge Homecoming Dance at 7 p.m. in the Koven’s Conference Center. This year’s theme is the roaring 20’s so one can expect students to come dressed in their finest Gatsby-esque attire and ready for a night of dancing. Additionally, the Homecoming Princess and Prince will be announced at the party.

“Well I’m excited to see what’s to come. I guess you can say the panthers are celebrating it as ROARing twenties,” said Gabriel Miranda, an international relations major.

Homecoming week wraps up with its biggest event of the week, the Homecoming Parade and Game which take place at 3 p.m. in lot 3 and 6 p.m. in the FIU Stadium respectively.

BBC will offer transportation to these events which take place in MMC so students who previously would have had trouble getting there will not miss it.

“It just inspires my heart to know that FIU has put forth so much effort to really bring its students together through music and celebration. It’s a fun way to have some school spirit and get involved in festivities with fellow students.” said Eric Watt, an English major.
