Homecoming Royalty Represents CAFNR
By Jennifer Hancock

By “ Just be yourself, and go with it.”

These are the words of the University of Missouri’s 2005 Homecoming King.

On Saturday, Oct. 15, 2005, CAFNR’s own Cory Robinson, an agribusiness management senior, earned the title and honor of being crowned Homecoming King on Faurot Field during the halftime coronation.

Homecoming day and the weeks leading up to it could be described as a blur. The excitement of rushing around and getting to meet new people may be overwhelming for some. But the days and weeks of preparing for this event were in the past. Working with the blood drive, Tigers Taming Hunger, Tiger Tango, and the parade had prepared the candidates for this moment. This was it. This was what they’d all been waiting for.

“… and the 2005 University of Missouri Homecoming King is…Cory Robinson.”

“It was a lot of fun seeing family, friends and students come together. Showing everybody a final product of what we had all been working on was one of my favorite parts,” Robinson said.

“I really just want to thank everybody who voted, helped and supported me. I really appreciate it. Thanks for the opportunities and good times,” Robinson said.

Cory was sponsored by Alpha Gamma Rho, where he currently serves as president. He also stays actively involved on campus as a teaching assistant in the Agricultural Economics department and is a member of the Greek Judicial Board and CAFNR Student Council.
