Deans’ Spirit Challenge (formerly Deans’ Chili Cookoff)
At GGC, our deans don’t just lead – they compete. Throw basketball into the mix and things get electrifying.
Here’s the deal: The school that brings the most noise, energy and spirit will take the prize. The winning dean will storm the court to claim the Deans’ Spirit Challenge traveling trophy, a symbol of ultimate bragging rights.
So, bring the hype, bring the volume and let’s see which school rules the court.
Den of Champions (formerly Decorate Your Den)
Decorate Your Den is now Den of Champions for the ultimate spirit throwdown happening the week of Homecoming, leading up to Grizzlyfest. Rock your school spirit to show why your area is the ultimate Den of Champions.
Submissions are due by Wednesday, Oct. 15, and decorations should be completed by Monday, Oct. 20. The selection committee will judge entries Wednesday, Oct. 22. The winner will be announced at Grizzlyfest and presented with the Den of Champions traveling trophy.
