On Saturday, Oct. 5, the Toledo Rockets will take on the Western Michigan Broncos in the Homecoming game in the Glass Bowl.
But before that, you can show your school spirit by decorating your office.
Ready to get spooky? Celebrate this year’s Homecoming theme: Rocky’s Haunted Halloween.
The deadline to sign up for the contest is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25.
UToledo students will judge the contest Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. They will be looking for craftsmanship, completeness, creativity, theme and school spirit.
Winners will be announced at the Homecoming game.
Three trophies will be given to the top offices and departments, while first-place winners will receive doughnuts.
Decorating rules include:
• Do not include any items that may cause a fire hazard;
• Decorations cannot block doorways or fire escapes; and
• The time you will be assigned for judging cannot be changed; if you miss it, you will not be able to reschedule.
The schedule for judging will be sent Friday, Sept. 27.
Student judges include Matthew Stojsavljevic, president of Phi Kappa Psi; James Easler, president of Blue Key Honor Society; and Rebecca Sturges, president of Student Government.
“Homecoming week is for everyone on campus to foster their Toledo spirit and get excited to cheer on the football team at Saturday’s game,” said Ashlen Torio, director of the Homecoming Committee.
Torio, a senior studying operation and supply chain management, added, “We hope that decorating offices gets staff and faculty excited to be a part of the week, and that students who see the offices decorated will get excited, as well.”
Offices and department that wish to participate and get into the Homecoming spirit are asked to sign up on InvoNet.
