Slivkans Win Homecoming Parade Banner Contest!

On October 16th, Slivkans marched down Sheridan carrying pom poms and an original banner. This year’s theme was “Where the Wildcats are,” so Slivka designed and painted a creative “Where’s Willie the Wildcat” display. The Slivka banner won the title of Best Banner of Homecoming! Congratulations, and thanks to all who participated!

Slivka Wins Field Day 2015!

This year, through an impressive collaborative effort, the Slivka community won the annual Residential College Field Day! Slivka left the competition with six trophies in total, for human foosball, waterballoon tossing, the relay race, tug of war, Penny Wars (a fundraising event) and the trophy for Field Day as a whole. Slivkans also placed well in other events, including second place for musical chairs. Those who didn’t compete helped with the concession stand, and spent hours handing out snow cones and cotton candy. Additionally, Slivkans had the pleasure of pelting President of the Slivka Exec Board, Austin Dickey, with dozens of water balloons. The weather was beautiful, and well appreciated after a long, misty spring. All in all an excellent day. (More photos coming shortly.)

In other news, the Slivka website was recently bestowed the title of Best in Show in the Residential College Website Competition.

RCB Field Day

Each year, all RCs compete in activities like Master’s Mile and Human Foosball at RCB Field Day. This is a wonderful day for Slivkans to gather at the lakefill, enjoy the spring weather, eat yummy food, and meet people from other RCs. This year, Slivka came in first place for Human Foosball and we won third place overall!
