.:FAU Traditions:.

FAU has many traditions that students might want to check out. It gives students the opportunity to make new friends, have fun and show some school spirit.

• Hall Wars- are during the Weeks of Welcome for students that will be living in the dorms on campus. For 11-days, residential students compete in volleyball, tug-of-war and relay races in an effort to win the Annual Hall Wars competitions.

• Owl Prowl- is celebrated in the fall semester during Homecoming Week. Students can participate in themed, custumed dances, a football game with a tailgate party, and a comedy show featuring a famous comedian.

• Brain Bowl- held every spring semester by the College of Engineering and Computer Science, during Engineering Week. Free food is always available in addition to a "Brain Bowl" competition between the departments.

• Timucua Pageant- fondly named after the old dorms I lived in as a freshman that have been recently torn down. The pageant that was first held in the Timucua dorms, is actually a talent show. It is hosted by the FAU Department of Housing and Residential Life. Competitors model different outfits and winners are crowned "King" and "Queen."

• Night Breakfast- During Finals Week of both the Fall and Spring semesters, a free late night breakfast is held in the Centre Marketplace. The Student Government Program Board pays for the food, DJ, candy, giveaways and sometimes there are small carnival rides as well. This is a much needed reprieve to break up the monotony of studying for finals.
