Statement from WSSU Police: Homecoming Safety

Dear WSSU Campus Community, 

We are all looking forward to the Winston-Salem State University Forever Red 2018 Homecoming festivities. During the week of October 14-21, the WSSU Ramily will come together for musical performances, alumni gatherings, parades, tailgating, and the football game against Livingstone College.

Chancellor Elwood L. Robinson and WSSU Police and Public Safety want to ensure that Homecoming is a safe experience for everyone. Here are some things to consider during your time at Homecoming events.
