Hawk-Fest!

Last weekend I celebrated my fourth Rockhurst Day. To kick off homecoming week each year, Rockhurst students and members of the community are invited to celebrate an afternoon of festivities, right on Rockhurst's campus. Student clubs and organizations each set up a booth, which usually consists of a fun game-with prizes! Huge, blown-up moonwalks and obstacle courses are also there for children of (ALL) ages to enjoy, in addition to the fun snacks- like popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy. Rockhurst alumni are invited to return for this celebration, which is great because it is so nice to see old friends!
The festivities conclude as the Rockhurst men's soccer game begins. During halftime, the homecoming court is announced- that is, the students who have been nominated by their classmates to represent their class.

Me and Breanna with the soon-to-be-named Hawk mascot!

The Homecoming theme this week is "Bourbon Street Masquerade." The dance will be held this Saturday night, and I'm so excited! Before the dance however, Residence Life is treating Rockhurst students to a free dinner at Fogo de Chao- a delicious Brazilian steakhouse located on the Plaza! Mmm!
