Homecoming 2012 may be over, but the memories live on. Catch up on the events you might have missed or relive great moments from one of the most enjoyable weeks of NSU’s annual fall semester:
Women’s Volleyball Game on Tuesday, Nov. 6 (Click here for photo gallery)
We had the stuff-a-shark event during the volley ball game. The first 100 students at the game got a ticket. After the first match, all those with a ticket were able to build their own shark, complete with a homecoming t-shirt for their new shark. The students loved this activity!
Anything That Floats Raft Races on Wednesday, Nov. 7 (Click here for photo gallery)
Thirty-seven boats got in the water, some sunk right away, and others made it around the lake and back. Many students came out to the event for Hungry Howie’s pizza, popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy, and cheered on their friends. Six boats competed in the final heat and the winners were as follows:
- Nature Club took first place. The crew included: Shannon Aldridge, Ian Towne, Brittany White, Julio Otano III, Erica Oliva, and Collier Strenkert.
