Tony Brown is convergence journalism major from Centennial, Colo., sponsored by the Tour Team, which he joined April 2007.

"I don't think I can accurately describe what it felt like to be chosen to Homecoming royalty," Brown said. "I guess I'd describe it as an immense pride in being able to share this experience with everyone who's helped me out over the past four years. I want this to be just as memorable for my friends as it is for me."

Brown's favorite Homecoming activity has always been the game but he might have a new favorite.

"For me, it has always been about the Homecoming game, because until now, I've never been involved in very many of the Homecoming traditions," Brown said. "I think the parade is going to be my new favorite."

He is an employee of the Advancement Department of the Trulaske College of Business and is involved with the Reynolds Journalism Institute, the Dudes of Lee Street, KCOU/88.1 FM, Innovative Technologies Fund and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Brown plans to stay at MU to pursue a graduate degree in journalism and would like to be a high school teacher.
