General Homecoming Information:

• Homecoming is sponsored by the East Tennessee State University Student

Government Association. It is an event put on by the students for the

students. It is a week of fun activities for all students on our campus.

Please encourage all students to participate.

• Questions and concerns are to be directed to the Homecoming Committee

Chairman Evin Dransfield, via email at [email protected] or by

phone at (931)-619-8831.

• Each event is overseen by a sub-committee chairman. All chairs will be

wearing Homecoming Staff Shirts. Please direct all questions about a

particular event to its chairperson only.

• Awards are given for each event hosted by the committee throughout the

week. These awards are divided into a first, second and third place

category. These rankings, along with spirit points given throughout the

week, will be added up in order to recognize an overall winner for

Homecoming 2010 at the men’s basketball game November 20th

.

• Any event throughout the week has the possibility of being used for spirit

points. Spirit points will be given based on a number of criteria, including

• Spirit points will be used in conjunction with event rankings to increase the

chance of an organization placing 1st

, 2nd

or 3rd

in the overall competition of

Homecoming 2010

• While Homecoming is a competition in nature, it is also a highly

philanthropic event. An organization which chooses to participate should

not so much focus on winning something, but instead focus on giving back

to the community and having fun while doing it!
