What's up #RedWolfNation! We are T-Minus ONE WEEK until homecoming week begins! I can not believe it is already here! Where has the semester gone? Seems just like yesterday that we were setting up for Back with the Pack and GloZone! WOW!
So like I said, homecoming week is closing in extremely quick, and do we have alot planned for you! It all kicks off on Monday, November 10! From 11-2 in the Graf we will have FREE T-SHIRTS and tons of 90s themed games!!!! We will also be making the HOMECOMING COURT ANNOUNCEMENT!! The we have the Nearly Naked Mile at 1 on the Quad! Donate Clothing and run/walk NEARLY naked. We end the day with the Annual Homecoming Parade in the Depot at 6:30!
On Tuesday, the Student Event Center groundbreaking will be taking place at 1 p.m. behind Springwood Hall! IU President Michael McRobbie will be in attendance! Following the groundbreaking at 2, the entire campus will observe one minute of silence to honor the brave men and women who have served our country for Veteran's Day. At 5:30, meet up with fellow students for Howl Crowd 101 at the Richmond High School Tiernan Center! Join the unique student section of IU East basketball events and become a Howl Crowd VIP. We will have a FREE Howl Crowd shirt give-a-way and FREE PIZZA!! This is all in preparation for our historic basketball games! IU East's FIRST men's and women's basketball double header and the FIRST women's home basketball game! All the action starts at 6! At halftime, we will then celebrate Rufus' birthday!
Wednesday night we see the return of Natalie Stovall at 8 in Vivian Auditorium! Whether it's her breathtaking vocals and larger-than-life stage presence, her band's turbo-charged, take-no prisoners live shows, or the collective unit's barnstorming worldwide tours, Natalie Stovall and The Drive prove they are arena ready. A humble, charismatic entertainer with a trademark lion's mane of big blonde hair, Natalie and her powerful vocals and sparkling fiddle leave audiences spellbound. Come out and enjoy this FREE event! I saw her a few years ago when she performed and honestly thought it was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. So you don't want to miss this!
On Thursday we kick the night off at 5:30 with the Annual Talent Show in Vivian Auditorium, presented by SAAT! Come see your fellow students show their talents in this competition! First place will win FREE books for the Spring 2015 semester (Sponsored by SGA) , second place wins a Keurig, and third place a college survival kit! Immediately following the talent show, the traditional bonfire will take place on the patio behind Hayes Hall! Here, we will crown the 2014 IU East Homecoming King and Queen!
The to round out the week, Saturday the women's basketball team will play Denison University at 3pm at Earlham College!
So with all that said, voting opens today for homecoming king and queen! I have been nominated by YOU (THANK YOU) for homecoming king! Now that I have been nominated, I need votes. You can help! Head over to iue.edu/homecoming/vote and cast your vote today!
