CSU-Pueblo crowns royalty at halftime of Homecoming game

PUEBLO – Two students were crowned Homecoming King and Queen during the 2015 Homecoming activities at Colorado State University-Pueblo, Oct. 5 to Oct. 11. Senior biology major Nicole Hulet, Longmont, and senior business management Major Jonothan Stephenson, St. Louis, Mo., accepted crowns and capes during halftime of the ThunderWolves 45-9 victory over Fort Lewis in the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl.

The homecoming King and Queen are chosen based off of four factors; academics, interview, campus and community involvement, and student votes. 

Hulet is co-president of SOUL, a student organization that educates students about preventing drug and alcohol abuse, a senior resident assistant, a senator for Associated Students’ Government, and is involved with Outdoor Pursuits. Stephenson is the public relations director for Associated Students’ Government, co-president of SOUL, member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, vice president of Fraternity and Sorority Council, co- president of Order of Omega, member of the 2015 Orientation team, and a volunteer for Operation Paint brush, Feeding America, highway cleanup, and a participant in Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. 

All candidates were required to attend Homecoming activities, including a pep rally and bonfire  on Friday as well as the student tailgate and game on Saturday.  Tom and Vivian Hall, owners of Tom G.
