Spirit Week 2010 – Spirit Challenge tips

Some things to keep in mind as you prepare for Friday’s Spirit Challenge, which starts at noon in the Sorrell Center’s Truhlsen Campus Events Center.

• Talent is welcome, but not required — This is a spirit challenge, not a talent show. Did Dr. Howard Fox need talent to paint the secondary icon on his arms during the Push-Ups for Haiti event?
  
• Brevity is a virtue — You only have two minutes and you don’t need to use it all.
  
• Recruit supporters — Judging is based on applause. If you get enough people to clap for you, you win the grand prize — a $30 gift card for a pizza party. Maybe bribe coworkers and students with the promise of free pizza if they clap for you.
  
• Register now! — Only ten teams will get a chance to compete so sign up today.

And as Spirit Week continues, remember:

• If you find the UNMC secondary icon embedded in a UNMC Today story this week, send an e-mail to spiritweek@unmc.edu. If you’re the first to respond, you’ll receive a free T-shirt. This contest will be held every day this week.
  
• Submit photos for the UNMC Photo Contest.
  
• Purchase discounted UNMC apparel at the UNMC Bookstore or at Spirit Week activities.
