Homecoming Week - Paint the Town Blue!!

Also last Saturday, October 16, members of the ODU community got together to participate in "Paint the Town Blue." Participants were asked to meet behind the Ted Constant Center at 10am and were given blue, white, and silver paint and painting supplies. The painting began at 11am and ended at 3pm. The painting on the windows will stay up until Sunday, October 24th and students will be responsible for thoroughly cleaning the windows by the 24th. Participants were judged during painting and after 3pm. The judging was based on creativity, theme incorporation, and overall impression. The winning organization was announced at the Pride Day Celebration on Tuesday, October 19th on Kaufman Mall. The winning organization also won a free pizza party!

Football Season 2010

I have been to a few football games since the season started, and I have to say that the first game was the BIGGEST and MOST EXCITING (until the Homecoming game at least). Foreman Field and the stadium was filled with Monarch Pride from students, alumni, and ODU football fans. The cheerleaders. dance team and Big Blue all kept the crowd cheering and excited. Football t-shirts, noisemakers and clappers were all handed out during the game. Hundreds of students and fans have been to every game since the start of the season, while others may have only been to a few. Below are the dates and scores for every game this season thus far.

BSA Halloween Party for the Kids

Last Saturday, October 16, the Black Student Alliance along with other student organizations hosted the annual Halloween Party for the Kids. It was from 12-3pm in the North Mall of Webb Center and some of the activities included face painting, mask decorating, and make-your-own candy treat bags. Children from the community began to arrive at about a quarter to 1:00 and it was nonstop fun until the end. Kid friendly Halloween themed music was played while children were able to decorate their own sugar cookies, decorate paper plate masks, and interact with each other and the members of the organizations. The kids had a chance to hit the pinatas and collect candy. There was even a costume contest and guess how much candy was in a jar provided by the men of 3D. The Halloween Party was very successful and the students were very happy to have provided such a good and fun act of community service for all of the children.
