Homecoming an interactive week for all students
This week marks Central Michigan Unviersity’s annual Homecoming celebration.
The week will feature many fun activities for students to get involved with around the university. Best of all, many of these activities are of no cost to the students. You are encouraged to have fun and partake in as many activities as possible.
One popular activity that will kick off the week is the Homecoming Medallion Hunt. Daily hints are given as to where the medallion is hidden on campus, with more hints given out as the week progresses. The grand prize for finding the medallion includes $200 and free pizza from Papa Johns. The thrill of the hunt alone is a great reason for students to band together and explore campus, even if the do not win the grand prize.
Some other activities include the Central Block Party at 11 a.m. today at the Bovee University’s front lawn. The Quest for Central Spirit will be held later in the evening at 6 p.m. at Finch Fieldhouse.
On Tuesday, students will get the chance to Yell Like Hell right before the Chippewa Food Relay at 6 p.m. at Finch Filedhouse. Thursday, there will be field games at 6 p.m. on the Finch/Alumni Field, with a screening of the movie “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at 8 p.m. in Pearce 126.
The week ends with a Homecoming Parade at 9:30 a.m. in downtown Mount Pleasant. For students who have not had an opportunity to explore downtown, this is a perfect chance to leave the campus and see what Mount Pleasant has to offer. Following the parade, the CMU football team will play Eatern Michigan University at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The 4-1 CMU football team could use the support in facing an Eagles team it has beaten just once in the last five years (2006).
This week will offer a variety of free and diverse activities for students to participate in. It’s an opportune moment for students to come out, meet new people and experience new things.
Show some school spirit. Get involved and have some fun.
