As part of a relatively new Homecoming tradition at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State (established during Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's 2011 Homecoming), couples who found love during their time as students here celebrate their love with a kiss while standing near the "K" on the bricks near the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Student Center and the University Library.

Each year, the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University's Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement sends out a call for nominations for "honorary couples" to share their Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State love stories.
