Coastal Carolina University is taking a trip back in time to the 1990s for its 2017 Homecoming celebration this week, Oct. 21 through 28. This year's theme, "Thank Goodness It's Coastal," was chosen because the class of 2021 is the last class that was born in the '90s. The student-run Homecoming committee has created prize packs, novelties and events inspired by television shows, music and fashion of the '90s.

"T.G.I.C." Homecoming shirts go are on sale in the Office of Student Life for $5. All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise specified.
