Contests and Promotions
During the year-long celebration various activities were planned to create campuswide excitement and engagement. These included:
"Where is This at ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity?"
While ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity celebrated its centennial, the buildings, structures and landscapes that comprise its eight campuses continued to change and expand. So a "Where is This at ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity?" challenge was launched for the university community. Participants identified the location and the ÃÛÑ¿appcampus captured in the photograph via the university's faculty/staff e-newsletter. To the right is one example from October 5, 2010.
Centennial Trivia Challenge
A Centennial Trivia Challenge was included as a contest element during the celebration.
the ÃÛÑ¿appCentennial Squirrel Contest
There was an option to purchase a black squirrel statue and decorate it for the ÃÛÑ¿appCentennial Squirrel contest. Winners were announced at Homecoming 2009. The contest was open to all ÃÛÑ¿appstudents, student organizations, staff, faculty, alumni, all community residents, merchants and organizations.
Flash Evolution
The Making of a ÃÛÑ¿appMascot and His Legend. What came first: "Flash" or the egg? Believe it or not, Kent State's mascot hasn't always been the dashing, jersey-wearing, fierce golden eagle he is today. Take a look back at ÃÛÑ¿appAthletics history and trace Flash's prestigious mascot lineage in in the Summer 2009 issue of the ÃÛÑ¿appMagazine (page 16).
