IOWA CITY, IOWA (October 8, 2021) — Lisa Truong of Davenport, Iowa, is a member of the University of Iowa's Homecoming 2021 executive council, a collection of 17 student leaders whose responsibility is to collaborate with the entire UI campus and Iowa City community to plan and execute activities that span seven days and culminate in the annual Homecoming Parade.
Each member of the executive council has their own specific responsibilities. Truong, who is majoring in International Studies and Italian at Iowa, is the multicultural director.
Homecoming activities begin on Monday, October 11, and continue through Saturday, October 16, with the staging of the Homecoming football game between the nationally ranked Iowa Hawkeyes and the Purdue Boilermakers at Kinnick Stadium.
For 175 years, the University of Iowa has championed long-standing traditions to celebrate and unite Hawkeyes. Homecoming week brings together students, faculty and staff, future Hawkeyes, and alumni from across the world in celebration. From the construction of the Corn Monument and the naming of that year's Homecoming royalty, to the echoing cheers and the Iowa Fight Song at Kinnick Stadium, Homecoming week creates experiences that last a lifetime for current Iowa students and brings to life the memories of their time at Iowa among the alumni in attendance.
