KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY SPIRIT CHALLENGE
This week, the Office of Residence Life is holding a KU Spirit Week challenge in honor of Homecoming. One step is for students to post a picture of themselves wearing KU spirit attire to their Instagram and tag Kutztown Housing. We thought it would be fun to showcase other members of campus showing off their KU spirit. You can post a picture to Instagram and tag @KutztownHousing or you can email a picture to sgreen@kutztown.edu to be shared on our Instagram story. Pictures can be of individuals or multiple members of your office and/or department.
