Homecoming Week Events

 By Frank Piegari 


With homecoming week well under way here at the University of Saint Francis, this week is jam packed with events and other fun that is sure to fill you with school spirit. 

This Tuesday 9/20, students can join the Students Activities Board as they come together in the Turk Theater from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m. to decorate posters for the football team. "Decorate some posters for the football game to show support! There will be decoration supplies available and even stickers of the football team! Come by to show your spirit and USF pride. Pick up thundersticks for the football game all day in MH Suite 150 "

In addition, Coffee and Careers is also starting back up again this Wednesday 9/21. Taking place in the career center from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., this is a great opportunity for any student who wants to find out about new and exciting opportunities in the workforce. If you find yourself in Tower Hall a little bit after Coffee and Careers, be sure to swing by the Uno Lounge as the Students Activities Board will be giving away bundt cakes from 11 a.m. through 1 p.m..

But all of these events are just the appetizer to the main event. Coming to you on Saturday 9/24, the fighting saints will be having their homecoming game at the Joliet Memorial Stadium. Festivities for the game kick off with a tailgate from 11 a.m. until the games start time of 1 p.m.. Where the saints play against Siena Heights University.
