The 2010 Devilish Homecoming week at ASU has arrived, and students don’t have to be on the Tempe campus to bleed maroon and gold. The Downtown campus will be celebrating homecoming with events throughout the week.
The Programming and Activities Board Downtown will put activities along Taylor Mall that will include music, food, drinks, games, prizes and more.
“I’m glad DPC is putting on events down here for homecoming,” said Leighton Eusebio, a public relations senior. “I’m always downtown for classes so I’m happy I can still enjoy the activities and get in the homecoming spirit!”
The FestDevil Block Party on Friday will include live music and entertainment.
“The FestDevil is a great way to invite the community to celebrate the spirit of homecoming,” said Steven Harper, director of strategic marketing and communications. “It also gives the ASU community a chance to experience what is in their neighborhood.”
The events throughout the week are intended to keep ASU morale going strong for the Saturday football game between the Sun Devils and the Washington State Cougars.
Events scheduled to take place at the Downtown campus are:
Oct. 27: Devil City 7 p.m.
With their Sun Card, students can explore the Arizona Science Center, located at 600 East Washington Street, at night.
Oct. 28: Root Beer Floats 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
