Civil Engineering Major Anterica Jones Named 2026 UA Little Rock Homecoming Royal

Sophomore Anterica Jones believes college is about more than earning a degree - it's about building community and encouraging others.

On Saturday, Feb. 28, Jones was crowned the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's 2026 Homecoming Royal during the halftime homecoming court ceremony at the men's basketball game.

The student body chooses the Homecoming Royal through Trojan Engage, a campus platform that connects students, faculty, and organizations through groups, community feeds, and events.

Jones is a civil engineering major from North Little Rock, Arkansas. She is a member of the Chancellor's Leadership Corps, Student Government Association, National Society of Black Engineers, and UA Little Rock's New Student Orientation Leaders.
