Photo feature: Homecoming events draw large crowds

Homecoming service project

Thirty members of the UCCS community kicked off Homecoming week by picking up litter on campus and in surrounding areas.

Throughout the week faculty, staff and students partook in a photo scavenger hunt, searching for a cardboard cutout of Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak. Upon finding the cutout, they were asked to take a picture to be shared on Facebook and Twitter. More than 80 photos were submitted.

Hundreds of students in UCCS gear show their school spirit by walking en masse from to Mountain Lion Stadium to watch the men’s and women’s soccer teams take on Colorado Christian University.

While both teams won their games, the highlight of the night was a halftime flashmob dance to Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song “Call Me Maybe.” More than 75 individuals participated, including Shockley-Zalabak.

The UCCS Homecoming Formal and Casino Night saw it’s largest turnout with more than 1,000 students showing up throughout the night.

“Overall, the week was very successful,” Brad Bayer, executive director, Student Life and Leadership, said.  “We had solid student involvement, and the largest turnout we’ve had.”
