The Homecoming Steering Committee has the right to determine what themes/drawings are appropriate to display on University Center windows. Participants should identify themselves somewhere in the design.
  3. The entry form, a drawing of the design and a $15.00 non-refundable entry fee for clean up of the windows MUST be submitted to Career & Leadership Development by 4:00pm Friday, October 9th. All drawings will be date stamped and the time of submission recorded. Drawings will not be returned. The Homecoming Steering Committee will review the drawings and advise participants of any designs requiring changes.

  5. Participants can paint their assigned window on Sunday October 18th from 12:00pm-6:00pm.  Paint will not be available after 5:30pm.  All painting materials and area must be cleaned by 6:30pm.
