There's something special about coming home. 💚💛 Yesterday's Spartan Spirit Fest brought together alumni, current students, friends and the entire Norfolk State community for an day of celebration, connection and Spartan pride.
Two people are smiling and wearing sports jerseys with "Spartans" written on them. Both are accessorized with sunglasses and earrings. There are green and yellow balloons in the background.

A group of five people sit together outdoors, each wearing Norfolk State University apparel. They are smiling, with a few holding drinks. Others are visible in the background near a fountain or water feature.
