Our Legacy

A decade of diamonds.

We are Hampton University's Class of 2017. This is the place where our story keeps growing: where we've been, and where we're going together.

2013 · 2017 · 2027

Our timeline.

  1. 2013

    We arrived

    We came to Hampton as first-year students and started becoming the class that would carry 2017.

  2. 2017

    We graduated

    Four years later we walked as the Class of 2017 and scattered into careers, cities, families and new callings.

  3. 2027

    We come home

    Ten years on, we return for Homecoming 2027, and build a home for the class that lasts well beyond one weekend.

The name

Why ONYX X.

ONYX X is our ten-year identity. The X marks a decade since we graduated, and the diamond is a reminder of what time and pressure can make. Diamonds are forever. So is the connection.
