Students found an outlet for their school spirit Monday morning near the Bovee University Center.

Homecoming Village, the second event of Homecoming week, is designed to get campus excited for Homecoming.

Homecoming Village was and free event to celebrate the beginning of Homecoming week. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Homecoming committee, partnered with On the Fly Productions and Program Board, gave out free hot dogs and drinks. People who were able to sing CMU’s fight song were rewarded with Homecoming T-shirts.

Dance Dance Revolution and 95.3 WCFX-FM provided music and entertainment to get everyone excited for the upcoming week of festivities.

“The Homecoming committee is working really hard to make Homecoming bigger and better than previous years. Everyone is really excited for it,” said Krista Casey, a Concord senior and a co-chair of the Homecoming committee.

Homecoming Village has been a tradition of Homecoming, but it seemed to have attracted more attention from the students and faculty this year, Jenny Zuzelsk said.

“We always get a big turnout,” said the Muskegon junior and public relations co-chair for On the Fly Productions.

Campus chalking and campus-wide advertisements helped this event attract more people, she said.
