As part of a relatively new Homecoming tradition at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ State (established during ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ State's 2011 Homecoming), couples who found love during their time as students here celebrate their love with a kiss while standing near the "K" on the bricks near the ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ Student Center and the University Library.

Each year, the ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ's Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement sends out a call for nominations for "honorary couples" to share their ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ State love stories.
