WSSU Homecoming 2022 safety message from Chief Henry

WSSU News & Information

Dear WSSU Campus Community, 

We are all looking forward to Winston-Salem State University Forever Red Homecoming which runs from September 25 to October 2. This year is especially exciting because it will be our first full Homecoming since 2019 and we are celebrating the university’s 130th Birthday.

Chancellor Robinson, Campus Police and Public Safety, and partners across campus are taking a proactive approach to ensure that Homecoming 2022 is a safe experience for everyone.

A huge part of being safe is being prepared and staying connected. You can download the RAMGuide and make plans, purchase event tickets, and connect with friends using the “Head to Head” feature.

  • Have a designated driver for both on- and off-campus events.

  • Do not accept open container drinks from people you do not know well.
  • Keep your cell phone, ID, and belongings close by.
