Spirit Competitions
- Chant Competition: Each participating institution will be invited to create a spirited chant or song that highlights their students' creativity and enthusiasm. These chants will be performed during the lunch session of the conference.
- Personality Picture Contest: We encourage students from each institution attending the conference to capture a personality picture. These photos should be submitted to the spirit judges before the conference begins. The best selfie will be the winner.
- Banner Competition: Students in attendance at the conference are invited to bring a spirit banner that proudly represents their institution and showcases the diverse personalities of student leaders. We're giving our student leaders the creative freedom to design their banners. The winning banner will be chosen by a panel from the conference planning committee. The banners will be displayed in the barn theater during the conference and attendees will have the chance to vote for their favorite. The spirit award winners will be announced during the closing dinner and keynote.
In each of these competitions, participants will be awarded points on a scale from 1 to 10. The group with the highest cumulative score will be crowned the spirit competition champions.
VACUHO Service Project
The school that contributes the most canned food items will be awarded a truly impressive trophy!
During the conference, participating schools will be asked to drop off their boxes of canned food at Ernst Hall, clearly labeled with their school's name. Our dedicated volunteers will tally the donations and announce the winning school during the closing dinner!
