Homecoming Spirit Competition
Various Events | Monday - Thursday | Student Event
The spirit competition is an ongoing competition that takes place at various events throughout the week where Homecoming teams can earn points for displaying Rowan pride, good sportsmanship, and excitement for the Homecoming theme. Spirit judges will be present at each team competition (Push Cart, Profs Trivia, Battleship, and Lip Sync). Additionally, there will be various social media challenges run daily for teams to earn extra points. The team with the most spirit points at the end of the week will go home with the biggest trophy of them all during our trophy presentation at the Homecoming football game on 10/24!
