Homecoming
Once gain this year, Technical Services participated in the homecoming department decorating contest. This year 24 campus departments, 9 student organizations, and 7 residential communities participated in the contest. While we did not win the people's choice trophy (watch out Meyorhoff Scholars because Tricia is out for revenge), we did win 1st place in the judge's choice category. W left quite the impression with our tailgate themed decor.
