Like many aspects of 2020, the Tommie tradition of Homecoming and Family Weekend looked different this year. St. Thomas hosted virtual experiences for alumni, families and friends, and provided an inclusive, on-campus experience for students. Photographers Mark Brown and Liam Doyle captured this year's purple pride celebration.
