Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan is a defining voice in hip-hop culture and broadcast media - best known as the legendary host of BET's Rap City: Tha Basement and 106 & Park. An Emmy Award-winning talent, Tigger's journey began right here at University of Maryland, College Park, interning at WPGC 95.5 FM before dominating the airwaves as the region's highest-rated nighttime host.
Over two decades, Tigger has interviewed and worked alongside the biggest names in music, sports, and entertainment - from Jay-Z and Nas to LeBron James. His influence extends beyond the microphone: he's a cultural connector who has shaped how a generation experiences hip-hop.
Today he hosts The Big Tigger Morning Show on V-103 in Atlanta - the city's #1 urban radio station - and serves as the official resident DJ for the Atlanta Hawks and Falcons, energizing sold-out crowds at State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. A proud Terp who never forgot where it started, his return for Homecoming is a true full-circle celebration.
Television personality, entrepreneur, and star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Potomac, Robyn Dixon is a proud University of Maryland alumna who brings undeniable star power and authentic Terp pride to an already legendary lineup.
Beyond her dynamic presence on screen, Robyn is a successful businesswoman and co-host of the popular podcast Reasonably Shady, where she engages audiences with candid conversations on life, relationships, and navigating the spotlight. Her voice extends beyond television, connecting with a broad and loyal community across platforms.
Robyn's return to College Park is more than a homecoming-it's a celebration of Black alumni excellence, influence, and legacy. As a Terp who has built her brand with resilience and authenticity, her presence highlights the impact of Maryland graduates across entertainment, media, and entrepreneurship while inspiring the next generation to dream boldly and lead confidently.
One of the most sought-after DJs in the entertainment industry, DJ M.O.S. (Masud Semple) is an alumnus of the University of Maryland, College Park who has taken the global stage by storm. As co-host and "Voice of God" for the Oscars Red Carpet Show on ABC - now in his 8th consecutive year - alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Terrence J, M.O.S. has become synonymous with Hollywood's biggest night.
Featured in Vogue, The New York Times, Interview Magazine, and GQ, and recognized by Vanity Fair as one of the best-dressed DJs in the world. He has performed for Beyoncé, George Lucas, Robert De Niro, and President Barack Obama, and has been the DJ of choice for brands like Dior, Netflix, Disney/Marvel Studios, and the legendary amfAR Gala in Cannes.
A proud ambassador for Don Julio 1942, M.O.S. has held residencies at Hakkasan Las Vegas, LIV Miami, L'Arc Paris, Base Dubai, 1OAK Dubai, and Tao Chicago. His return to College Park - where his career began spinning at campus parties - is a full-circle moment and a testament to what happens when Terp dreams meet relentless hustle.
Brooklyn-born and raised, Northeast Ohio-based, DJ E SIZZ brings big-city flavor, versatility, and nonstop energy to every event. As an open-format DJ, he seamlessly blends hip-hop, R&B, throwbacks, dance classics, and today’s biggest hits to create the perfect soundtrack for any crowd.
With sharp music selection, smooth transitions, and an instinct for reading the room, DJ E SIZZ does more than play music—he creates an atmosphere.
From private celebrations and community events to lounges and nightlife, his mission is simple: keep the energy high, the crowd engaged, and the dance floor moving.
The Return Party for Black Alumni Weekend was epic. The energy proved this isn't a reunion-it's a movement. If you couldn't make it, here's what you missed.
Be in the room. Join fellow Terps for a night of music, connection, and celebration. Dress sharp. Bring your people. Come ready to reconnect.
