Alpha Gamma Rho paints the rock for Thanksgiving Break

Alpha Gamma Rho, the agricultural fraternity painted the rock in their colors yellow and green. The rock really shows their pride in their organization and in writing their inception at the University of Connecticut, 1958. Its great to see traditions such as fraternities as well as the rock last, especially during the beginning of our Thanksgiving break when valuing tradition is so important. Staying involved with your organization through the years is vital. Alpha Gamma Rho would probably not be at the status they are today without support of their alum spanning from 1958. This is why staying connected is so important! I hope everyone has a nice break, and remember when we come back..keep painting, and I'll keep watching...

Lambda Alpha

Lambda Alpha, the national honors society for Anthropology, did a great job! Love the globe!

Among the comments written on the back of The Rock I think my favorite - by far - is in the lower right corner in red: "Hire me I know stuff". Wouldn't it be great if you could just put that in a cover letter or on a resume and get hired?!? You can't really see it too well in this photo, so go check it out for yourself... until someone paints over it!

Speaking of "hire me"... did you know that the Alumni Association has a great online community for UConn alumni and students? One of the neat features is a Career Network with job searching and resume posting services. You just never know who is out there reading these "hire me" messages!

PSE Fall '08 Paints The Rock

Pi Sigma Epsilon, UConn's co-ed marketing, management, and sales fraternity represented their new Fall 2008 pledge class on The Rock. PSE is very active on campus through community service, social events, and in bringing speakers and seminars to campus. Not only that, but they painted a great rock! With only a week or so till Thanksgiving Break, get your organization on The Rock and in the blog! Keep painting..and I'll keep watching!

Happy CA Day!

This morning when I looked out I noticed the hot pink of the First Year Programs was gone and instead replaced with a Husky Blue and White. Within a "Jonathan Husky Paw" was CA enscribed. CA's are Community Assistants and they are recruiting now for all Resident Halls for next year! Happy CA Day! Congrats and thanks to the CA's who do so much for us on campus!

Anyone can do it...

A little birdie just sent me this link to a video of The Rock painting on YouTube. It seems as if Rock painting has gone viral!

Do you have a video of your group in action and painting The Rock? Send it to me and I'll post it on the blog.

Pretty in Pink

Based on my so-so investigative skills, I think that this painting is the handy work of the First Year Programs office. Some of the names match up with their staff list... and the giant "FYP" on the back side of The Rock kind of clued me in. :)

Keep painting, and I'll keep watching...

Red Rock

No, not the restaurant in Mansfield... The Rock has been painted red! The brothers of Kappa Psi did a nice job. And it's a color we haven't seen yet - which, I'll admit, is a refreshing change.

Keep painting, and I'll keep watching...

Another Political Message this time for, President Obama?

This morning I saw that there was another political message on the rock. This time there were there names in red white and blue as well as "Obama '08?" These groups don't seem affiliated with the College Republicans or College Democrats. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled..

Vote today!

As we get out to the polls today, it looks like some folks from the College Republicans expressed their choice for President by painting The Rock with a "McCain/Palin" message. Nice job guys, show your support for the candidate of your choice and VOTE!!
