The #WeAreReady team is making history for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n
Hosting the first-ever Spirit Week from Sept. 12-16, the team is building on\u00a0the momentum of last year\u2019s success while strengthening the movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpirit Week is meant to set the tone for the rest of the year by bringing people together,\u201d said Mohamed Hassan, fourth-year Economics student.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to unite students and show them that Brock is their home away from home and that the Badger family is their family. We are all one,\u201d added Bawe Nsame, fourth-year Sport Management student.<\/p>\n
The team is building up the hype across campus by challenging all Brock departments to show their school spirit by creatively welcoming students back to campus leading up to Homecoming.<\/p>\n
The week will be highlighted by the We Are Ready Spirit Night on Alumni Field\u00a0Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. Students are encouraged to paint the campus red by wearing Brock swag to celebrate what it really means to be a Badger.<\/p>\n
There will be live performances and the unveiling of the new Boomer the Badger during Spirit Night, as well as the launch of the new Brock anthem, written and composed by Brock alum Ryan Guay (BA \u201910, BEd \u201910).<\/p>\n
\u201cBadger pride is every day, but this is one night where we all come together with the rest of the Brock and Niagara community to celebrate. It will be a great way to get the crowd excited for the Sept.16 Tailgate Party and the Steel Blade Classic,\u201d Nsame said.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, Nsame and Hassan highlight that #WeAreReady is a movement for every Badger.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about the Brock experience. When you come out to our events, expect to have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
