Cougar Cup (sheet painting for halls), display & judging

Student Commons — 5 p.m.

Cougar Cup is an event where each hall, as well as Cougar Village and commuter students, decorates a banner that will be displayed on campus using the supplies provided (fabric markers, fabric paint, foam brushes, and one large sheet). There are four categories that you can aim for as you are designing your sheet: relevance to theme (outer space), school spirit, creativity, and curveball (surprise us!). You will receive the materials one week in advance. All banners must be complete by Monday, October 11th at 5:00 P.M. The winning hall will receive cookies and a fancy trophy to be displayed! May the best hall win!
