2024 Homecoming Office Decorating Competition
It's time to show off your Laker spirit! With Homecoming just around the corner, we're excited to announce the Grand Valley Homecoming Office Decorating Competition, where we invite all departments/units to transform their outer-facing windows and internal office spaces into vibrant displays of GV pride!
Outer-Facing Windows
If your office/suite has an outer-facing window, you are encouraged to decorate it to show your Laker pride to students and community members passing by.
Inspired by the Division of Student Affairs 2023 Homecoming Office Decorating Competition.
