THE IOWA CHALLENGE As a University of Iowa student, you become part of the Hawkeye family students and alumni transformed by their experiences at Iowa. The University asks you to follow their example and rise to the challenge of these five expectations: EXCEL. Academic excellence means setting and meeting high standards for yourself as a student. Faculty, staff and other students will ask you to work hard and push yourself intellectually. We expect a lot of you; you should expect only the best from yourself and the University. STRETCH. At Iowa, you will find diversity of people, ideas, opportunities, and experiences. That diversity is one of the benefits of being an Iowa student. Step away from the familiar, try new ideas, experience new cultures and learn from people different from yourself. ENGAGE. You will be a more successful student and enjoy yourself more if you spend your time and energy on activities that matter. The University of Iowa offers almost limitless opportunities and the resources to help you become a leader in and out of the classroom. Take advantage of them. CHOOSE. Every day you make decisions that affect your education and your future. Take your choices seriously and use your freedom wisely. Your Iowa education is what you make it. Make it something you and your University can be proud of. SERVE. As an Iowa student, you are a member of many communities, on and off the campus. You have the opportunity and responsibility to be a good neighbor and citizen and to serve the community. Make your community a great place to live. 3

2017 HOMECOMING PARADE General Parade Guidelines (cont d) 7. All entries including children ages 12 and under will be required to have a ratio of one adult to every ten children. 8. Proceed to your assigned location in the parade staging area no later than 3pm so that line-up can be positioned properly. The parade will begin at exactly 5:45pm and the flow of entries will proceed according to the parade route and staging area maps. 9. DO NOT bring extraneous vehicles into the staging area. Additional vehicles will delay the start of the parade and will be towed at the owner s expense. 10. At the end of the parade route, please be considerate of those following you and clear the area quickly. Explicitly follow the direction of parade personnel. 11. All floats competing in float competition will be judged by a panel of judge consisting of students, faculty, staff and community leaders. One float will be awarded Best of Show for fulfilling the requirements of Hawkeye Spirit. 12. Under no circumstances will a group be allowed to stop during the parade. (Specifically marching bands should not stop to perform). The parade will move at a constant flow and will only stop in the event that the preceding entry stops. If any entry cannot proceed at any point during the parade, (i.e.. mechanical breakdown, etc.) please exit the parade route at the nearest possible exit or move to the side of the parade route and immediately inform the next entry to continue around you. 13. Any participants who wish to have animals in their entry must indicate use on the attached application. Entrants are responsible for the cleaning and disposal of any waste produced by the animals. Though animals may be present, they may not leave the transportation vehicle. Failure to abide by the above policies will result in dismissal from the 2017 Homecoming Parade without refund. Applications will not be processed without payment in full by the scheduled application deadline. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If applicants select a Class 1 entry (traditional float), that organization will receive $20 off the application fee. Check out the Homecoming website for more information. homecoming.uiowa.edu We strongly recommend Class 1 entries this year, as Class 1 entries will take priority over all other entries. For example, if application numbers 134 and 135 are walking entries, and application numbers 136 and 137 are both Class 1 entries, numbers 136 & 137 will move up in position, knocking applications 134 and 135 down in the order, resulting in them being put on the wait list. 32
