William “Bill” Hoffman and Olivia “Livv” Faenza are the 2022 Homecoming Royalty for Shippensburg University, as announced at the homecoming football game on Saturday. Both seniors were honored and excited to have been selected.
Hoffman is a senior human communications major with minors in sociology and criminal justice. Outside of classes, he is involved in the Activities Programing Board (APB), is a technology manager at the Ceddia Union Building (CUB) and is on the board for the President’s Watchkeepers.
“It is kind of unbelievable,” Hoffman said when asked how he felt after being crowned. “I am so grateful for everyone supporting me.”
Faenza is a senior communication, journalism and media major, concentrating in public relations. She also has a minor in marketing.
Faenza is the president of the Shippensburg University Marching Band (SUMB) and represented them when running for Homecoming Court. Outside of the band and academics, Faenza is the assistant PR director for The Slate, a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, the National Honors Band Fraternity and a member of Kappa Delta Phi NAS.
“I am so thankful for everyone’s support,” Faenza said.
As part of running for Homecoming Court, all the candidates raised money in support of Big Red’s Cupboard. The program provides free food to anyone on campus who needs it. Together, the candidates gathered 450 donations and raised $6,000 to go toward supplying the pantry. As the 2022 Homecoming Royalty, Hoffman and Faenza will continue to give back to the community in a variety of ways throughout the rest of their time at SU.
Congratulations Bill Hoffman and Livv Faenza, and we look forward to seeing you flourish.
