The Homecoming Royalty selection process for 2023 is underway! McKendree’s Homecoming Court competition is a celebrated tradition that creates a sense of pride and fulfillment. In celebration of inclusivity and diversity, McKendree’s Bearcat Royalty will not feature the traditional titles of king and queen.
It is our hope that both the process and the resulting rewards spark competitive and
institutional spirit within our McKendree community.
Candidates for Bearcat Royalty are nominated by their respective registered student
organization or University-sponsored group. The top Homecoming Court candidates are
determined by their application and essay. To be eligible for Homecoming Court, all candidates must be currently enrolled as
a full-time student, be a Sophomore through Senior standing, have a 2.5 minimum McKendree
cumulative grade point average, ABOVE 30 credit hours at McKendree, and be in good academic and judicial standing
with McKendree University.
Candidates will each receive a $25 Bookstore Gift Card.
Bearcat Royalty Court Finalists will receive a Book Store Gift Card of $75 each, and a $250 Campus Activities Office Impact Award towards their Registered Student Organization or University-sponsored group.
Homecoming Court Candidates put on probation during the selection process will automatically
be disqualified.
Selection of the final Royalty Court is determined by their initial application and
essay scores, and by student vote. Homecoming voting will begin on Wednesday, October
18, 2023 at 10pm.
