From Oct. 14 through Oct. 19, Doane will have its week-long series of events called “Tiger Homecoming,” hosted by Doane’s Student Programming Board (SPB) and various groups around campus.
“I guess my favorite event is kind of that kickoff event. Just because I think students really get excited, it shows them what’s going on. There’s lots of games, there’s food. This year we’re bringing a pretty great comedian,” Assistant Director of Campus Engagement Spencer Munson said.
The people who set up a majority of the events are members of the Doane Homecoming committee in the Student Congress, the president of which is sophomore Tyas Menning.
“Our SPB students went to the NACA conference last year and saw this comedian, and he crushed it, so we decided to bring him to campus,” Munson said.
The events start Oct. 14 with the kickoff event. This is followed on Oct. 15 with a bonfire. On Oct. 16, there is an event called “The Amazing Race.” On Oct. 17, there is the “Tiger Time Warp Western Dance,” where there will also be a mechanical bull. On Oct. 18, there is the pep rally and skit night. Finally, on Oct. 19, there is the Big Bucks Bingo.
These are the events that are being organized by the SPB, but the Alpha Omegas are hosting a get-together for Doane Students and other Greek groups are helping with these events.
“I think it’s kind of getting enough students excited to also help. We have lots of different tasks and so you know, we have a homecoming committee on SPB. There’s a lot of Greek life support,” Munson said.
Finishing touches in preparation for these events will be occurring over the fall break, according to Munson.
