Saint Mary's Board of Governance (BOG) members discussed Hall Spirit Week and the College-hosted Notre Dame-Army pep rally at their meeting Monday.
LeMans Hall kicked off the Spirit Week yesterday morning with free donuts and juice in its main hall, Residence Hall Association president Amy Dardinger said.
Events have been organized by each residence hall to celebrate Spirit Week. The week culminates with Friday's pep rally, which the College is co-hosting with Notre Dame dorms Sorin, Breen-Philips and Carroll.
"[Student Activities Board] has made tattoos for the pep rally which will be distributed in the dining hall on Thursday night," Student Activities Board president Claudia Toth said.
Students are asked to meet in front of the Welcome Center at 4:30 p.m. to walk over to the pep rally Friday afternoon, Toth said.
The group also discussed the creation of "to-go mugs," said Student Services commissioner Kelly Maus, who has been working with Sodexho, the College's food service provider.
"The mugs have been ordered and they will be on sale [after Thanksgiving break]," Maus said. "We ordered 500 of them and we hope to sell them for eight dollars each."
The proceeds from the mug sales will benefit the Senior Board's "12 Days of Christmas" event, which raises money to help local families buys Christmas presents and decorations during the holidays.
