Department Decorating Competition
The Swarm Days Committee would like to thank all those who participated in the office decorating competition. The
student judges were very impressed with the creativity, school spirit and extra efforts that folks put into this year’s
decorations. From the interactive line‐dancing at the International and Global Relations office, to the students’ wanted
posters and covered wagon at Student Financial Services or the homemade treats at the Registrar’s Swarm Stables, our
school spirit and Yellow Jacket pride was a winner at every office. However, for this competition, this year’s winner is the
Registrar’s Office! Congratulations and thanks so much for the yummy cookies! Be sure to check out some of the photos on
