How can I earn points for my college?
You can earn points for your college in two ways:  team events and individual events.  During the week there are four team competitions:  Trivia Challenge, Ridiculous Relays, Lip Sync, and Yard Art.  You can also earn points as an individual in three ways.  You may earn “Participation” points simply by attending designated events during Truman Week, collecting the appropriate cards, and turning the cards in to your Student Advisor (SA).  You can earn “Exploring Truman” points by visiting certain offices around campus, picking up cards at the various locations, and turning the cards into your SA. Finally, you can accumulate points for your college by participating in a number of activities designed to help you learn about and celebrate diversity.  Cards are also distributed at the Diversity activities.  Diversity point cards are also turned into your SA.  Be sure to turn in your cards for the Participation, Diversity and Exploring events before midnight on Friday.  For more information about the team competitions and individual events click here.

Does it matter if I don't participate in the College Cup 2008 Challenge?
You are invited to participate.  The purpose of the College Cup Challenge is to build cohesion within the Residential Colleges, to promote some friendly competition, to give you an opportunity to display your talents and get acquainted with your new home, and to make sure that you have something to laugh, shout, scream, chant, sing and even bark about during your Truman Week experience.

Participation in the College Cup competition is not mandatory.
