The Residence Hall Association reviewed plans for upcoming Homecoming events during its meeting Thursday.

“It’s going to be at nighttime with black lights and it’s going to be outside,” Anderson said.

Members said residence halls are encouraged to participate in Homecoming Week.

“They can sign up for spirit banners (and a) window decoration competition,” Anderson said. “The spirit banners, they can take them to all the other events and to the game to support their hall and support Eastern at the same time.”

RHA members also established plans for the Homecoming parade, which will be Saturday morning before the Homecoming game.

He said residence hall members must check in from 7 to 9 a.m. for the parade.
