Decorating Contest<br><br>
</b></font></div>
<font color="#000080">Homecoming Week is quickly approaching this
<b>February 20-24, 2007</b> and every year the Annual Homecoming Office
Decorating Contest has been growing into a campus sensation! More
departments are participating with fierce and festive decorations. If
your office or department hasn’t joined in before, then is the time to
show us your UCR spirit by decorating your offices! Keep in mind, this
year’s theme is “Bringing Spirit Back!”-so bring it on!<br>
</font> <br>
<font size=4 color="#000080"><b>Your department has two options:<br><br>
1. Help bring spirit back by decorating your office
modestly</font><font color="#000080"> </b>(This does not require entering
the competition for best decorated office.)
<dl>
<dd>This year, in addition to awarding prizes for the best decorated
offices we will recognize the division of the University that has the
highest percentage of offices participating for divisional spirit!
Our hope is to decorate the campus with blue and gold in a manner that
rivals holiday decorating and festivities. Consider donning your
office with blue and gold lights, UCR pendants, historical photographs,
etc.</font>
