THON 2011 Live Blog: Friday

Want to know what's going on RIGHT NOW at THON 2011? Follow our live blog for up to the minute (or so) information. Check it out after the jump.

THON 101: Hospitality

The principal duty of the Hospitality, or HOS, Committee is to acquire and distribute all food and beverages during THON weekend and various pre-THON events. HOS connects the community and sponsors to THON by obtaining donations throughout the year. It will be easy to spot the HOS-associated, as they will be rocking some kickin' hot pink shirts (not to be confused with the light pink apparel of the Merchandise Committee).

THON 101: Special Events

Although THON Weekend only comes once a year, the Special Events committee works to ensure that THON is present on campus in the months leading up to the big weekend.

THON 101: Entertainment

When talking about what exactly the Entertainment Committee does for THON, I think it would be easier to list the things that they aren’t helping with. Entertainment Committee Overall Michael Fitzpatrick told me what this committee is all about and I pass that knowledge on to all of you.

THON 101: Focus Groups

As THON has grown since its first year in 1973, having smaller components within the well-structured internal committees enables the multiple facets of THON to perform their duties to the best of their abilities. Different committees work together for different functions of THON, and these groups are called focus groups.

THON 101: OPPerations

Each year, THON weekend rolls around and the Bryce Jordan Center, or Rec Hall and the White Building in years past, is transformed from the normal, basketball stadium look into the magical place that is THON. Decked out in navy blue and zany hats, the OPPerations committee serves as the worker bees for this transformation.
