ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï

During the year-long celebration various activities were planned to create campuswide excitement and engagement. These included:

"Where is This at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï?"

While ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï celebrated its centennial, the buildings, structures and landscapes that comprise its eight campuses continued to change and expand. So a "Where is This at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï?" challenge was launched for the university community. Participants identified the location and the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State campus captured in the photograph via the university's faculty/staff e-newsletter. To the right is one example from October 5, 2010.

Centennial Trivia Challenge

A Centennial Trivia Challenge was included as a contest element during the celebration.

the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Centennial Squirrel Contest

There was an option to purchase a black squirrel statue and decorate it for the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Centennial Squirrel contest. Winners were announced at Homecoming 2009. The contest was open to all ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State students, student organizations, staff, faculty, alumni, all community residents, merchants and organizations.

Flash Evolution

The Making of a ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Mascot and His Legend. What came first: "Flash" or the egg? Believe it or not, ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State's mascot hasn't always been the dashing, jersey-wearing, fierce golden eagle he is today. Take a look back at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Athletics history and trace Flash's prestigious mascot lineage in in the Summer 2009 issue of the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Magazine (page 16).
