Homecoming Office Decoration

Office Judging Information

Employees of each university office are asked to decorate their office for Homecoming Week! There will be prizes offered in three categories consisting of two divisions – small and large office. Judging of office decorations will begin on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 9 a.m. Judging order will be on first-come, first-served basis.

The theme, “’80s Echoes: Come Back Curious,” honors Grand Marshal Joe Chrest’s years at Marshall as a 1986 graduate, and draws inspiration from the nostalgic world of 1980s mysteries, as often referenced in “Stranger Things.” Chrest portrayed Ted Wheeler in the hit Netflix series.

Judging for office decorating will be divided into two divisions: small office (up to 7 employees) and large office (8 or more employees). Judges (members of the MUAA national board and volunteers) will rate each office in three categories, plus a fourth online vote. The office with the highest point total from all judges will be declared the winner in each. Categories are:

• Most Creative
• Best Fits Homecoming Theme
• Best Looking
• Online Fan Vote @ForMarshallU
