Homecoming Week

Homecoming week is always a blast and is something students look forward to all year. Besides all the hype for the football game, which this year is against VMI, there are many other activities going on around campus. Most of the festivities begin on Thursday evening, starting with the Bulldog Madness. Bulldog Madness is basically the kick-off of the GWU Basketball season. Both men’s and women’s teams are introduced, and there is also a game between the faculty/staff and the Harlem Wizards. This years Bulldog Madness should be very entertaining! On Friday, students can go out and watch the Powderpuff Football game between the girls of Northside and the girls of Southside. Afterward the majority of campus usually goes out and rolls the quad in the middle of the night, which is a great Gardner-Webb tradition. Saturday has many activities as well. A paintball tournament will be held on one of the intramural fields in the morning, and the homecoming parade will also take place through the streets of Boiling Springs. Following the game, the Homecoming dance will be held. This year’s homecoming weekend is looking to be very entertaining, and I can’t wait for it to get here!
