Dear UAB NPHC Organizations,

We are so excited to announce the 4th Annual BSAC/NPHC Homecoming Stroll Competition!

This competition will take place during UAB Homecoming Week on Friday, October 18 at 7pm in the Hill Student Center Ballroom.

This event will serve as not only an exciting competition for those in attendance but a meaningful celebration of a great tradition. This will also serve as an opportunity for our alumni to come back to UAB and network with undergraduate students. Proceeds from this competition will go towards funding scholarships.

Please review the competition information that includes information on the competition rules, scoring guidelines, and an application for your Alumni members to participate as non-competing performers.

We hope that you will have a wonderful time competing, connecting with new people and representing your individual organizations. Please complete the application by 5pm on Friday, October 4, 2019.
