Scenes Of Celebration As University Of Missouri-St. Louis Comes Back Together For Homecoming

Press release from the University of Missouri-St. Louis:

University of Missouri–St. Louis students and other members of the campus community came together to celebrate homecoming last week after last year, when all the events were held virtually. They had their minds bent by a mentalist, packed the stands to support the UMSL men’s and women’s basketball teams, feasted on chili, dined on pancakes and danced the night away at the “Roaring Back into the ’20s” dance. A Thursday ice storm interrupted some of fun, but the week still brought plenty of joy and spirit. Check out some of our favorite photos of the festivities!

Mentalist Sean Bott demonstrated his mind reading, telepathy and telekinesis skills in front of a virtual crowd on Wednesday.

Despite an ice storm that necessitated a virtual learning day on Thursday, students still turned out in the evening to support the men’s and women’s basketball team in “Pack the Stands.”

Yaakema Rose Jr. and the UMSL men’s basketball team pulled out a 76-68 homecoming victory over Southern Indiana at the Mark Twain Athletic Center.

Hungry chili fans waited to get a taste of the annual Chili Feed, which was moved from Thursday to Friday because of the weather.

The Sodexo crew helped make the Chili Feed a success.
