Reception to Follow
Battle of the Majors
Departments earn points by attending and volunteering at EWeek events. Attendance and volunteer points will be tracked after each event. The most spirited department will be announced at the end of the week and awarded the Spirit Trophy.
-
The percentage of students in each department who attend or volunteer at each EWeek event will determine the number of points the department receives. For each event, each department will receive a score of 1-10 points (10 for the department with the highest percentage of attending students and 1 for the lowest). No department will earn a score of 0. Total points will be tallied at the end of the week to declare a winner. Leaderboards will be shared daily.
-
Students, faculty, staff, and alumni can all contribute points to their department! Look for the QR code/google form link during each event and enter your name, department, engineering society, and RUID.
Event attendees will receive points (i.e. coming to our spirit week table or Cardboard Canoe Races). The following groups will receive double points for attendance (i.e. count as two attendees): volunteers at each event, Pep Squad members, Interns Present semi-finalists, faculty, staff, and alumni.
