The new Students Council Executive Board members will be in charge of planning all of the year’s events. The first major event of the year will be Homecoming.

A new year means new leaders for Lafayette’s Student Council (STUCO). The 2018-19 Executive Board members are as follows:

One thing STUCO is known for planning is Homecoming. The 2018 Homecoming spirit days are as follows:

  • Monday: Cowboys vs Aliens Day
  • Tuesday: Hippie Day
  • Wednesday: Galaxy Day
  • Thursday: Jerseys and Jammies Day
  • Friday: Oblivion Day (Black Out)

Starting at 7 p.m. the film Space Jam will be shown on the turf.
