The vice president, 56, helped kick off the inaugural Truth and Service Classic football game between her alma mater and Hampton University by leading the coin flip prior to kickoff.

"Always a pleasure to have @VP representing #TheRealHU," the college tweeted Saturday evening, alongside an image of a waving Harris in the stands.
