Terms of Office

Committee Members – One year or until a replacement is selected by the steering committee.

Standard Meeting Time

A schedule of meetings will be determined by the chair(s) and will be distributed to the committee. The committee will plan to meet once per month from February to October (or another fall date, depending on which month UA Homecoming is held) for the purpose of providing advisement and support to the planning, marketing and execution strategies for annual Homecoming activities. Meetings to ensure the implementation of established Homecoming plans and to ensure awareness are to be held early in the fall semester. Meetings should be held to provide feedback and support on coordination for a successful Homecoming. A follow-up meeting should be held shortly after Homecoming to assess the success of activities. The intent shall be to identify both successes and concerns with the goal of continuous improvement for future Homecoming celebrations.
