(PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 3, 2003) – Phoenix College sure knows how to host a party! With days full of food, music, social gatherings, the famous dunk tank and Bumstead appearances, it was quite evident that Homecoming festivities were well underway at Phoenix College.

As the JamBEARee spirit filtered across campus from the college pep rally to the employee ice cream social, employees were excitedly cheering on the Bears.

The Office/Department decorating contest seemed to kick off the contagious spirit as offices transformed into football fields, solar planets, blue and gold masterpieces and a museum of fine arts – just to name a few. Then it was the infamous pep rally, full of legendary karaoke, delicious fry bread and the unforgettable dunk tank. (The dunk tank seemed to be hit with students, faculty and staff.) The pep rally allowed the college to recognize and support the team as it gears up to take on the Scottsdale Artichokes.

Thursday’s ice cream social encouraged the campus to come out and enjoy an array of cool desserts. Winners of the decorating contest were also announced. They included:

Library – Best use of department materials

Advisement Center – Best use of theme

Advisement Center – Best use of department collaboration

Admissions & Records/Cashier’s Office/Information/Fiscal Office – Best use of People

Come out and support the Bears!
