Congratulations to the ‘Deck the Halls’ competition winners
Thank you to all 30-plus departments, offices and teams that participated in our inaugural “Deck the Halls” decoration competition! We hope that each building fills you with joy and the Christmas spirit throughout December.
A few ho-ho-honorable mentions include: the College of Business, the College of Education, the Office for Spiritual Life, History and Politics, the Maker Hub, the Finance Department, and the Office of Student Life.
Now for your 2022 “Deck the Halls” winners, all of whom will receive prizes:
Third Place (“Top Elf on the Shelf” Award): The Advancement Office
This team welcomed us into New York City with an Elf theme. “Santa Reamy” was one of the best Santas of all time. The magic was alive and well as the Christmas Committee navigated to Santa through Gimbels.
Second Place (“Spirit of the Season Award”): The Social Work Department
This office also had an Elf theme. They earned extra points for incorporating their team into the theme as elves in a display on their door. The specific movie details including a naughty and nice list, Lite-Brites, Elf trivia, and spaghetti cookies, were very impactful. It brought Christmas cheer!
First Place (“St. Nick’s Top Pick”): Student Accounts
If you want to walk through a Hallmark movie home, please visit Student Accounts. The details, including interactive rooms, use of space, and overall creativity, are beyond exciting! They created a cohesive design that brought so much joy!
Congratulations again to all the winners and to all the participants! You are strongly encouraged to check out other departments’ decor this season and celebrate through all the activities on campus this month!
