Dakota State University kicked off its homecoming celebration with coronation on Monday night. Crowned as king and queen were Josh Thomas and Tiffany Nelson.

Thomas is a sophomore elementary education major from Brookings. He is involved in the Student Activities Board, intramurals and South Dakota Education Association's student program. He was nominated by the Student Activities Board.

Nelson is a senior elementary education/special education major from Arlington. She has been involved in the SAB, InterVarsity, intramurals and SDEA's student program. She was nominated by SDEA.

The two were among 12 candidates for king and 16 candidates for queen. Elections were held last week to narrow the contestants to five candidates each. Other nominees were Sean Aman, Jordan Frisch, Jordan Lindgren, Joel Massen, Kayla Fiedler, Kari Michel, Sara Olson and Ashley Place.
