In a tough competition between University of Houston departments and offices, Learning and Assessment Services took the top prize in the second annual Spirit Bell Contest.

The competition challenged faculty and staff to decorate their offices to show Cougar spirit during homecoming week. Students judged offices based upon creativity, overall appearance and school spirit. They also evaluated entries on how well offices illustrated this year’s homecoming theme: Cougars Full Throttle … Let the Good Times Roar!

Learning and Assessment Services won the contest for the second consecutive year, beating the UH Health Center by one vote. The winning office’s decorations included a cardboard car with real rubber wheels and a fog machine for the exhaust.

The CampusCougars Alumni Association sponsored the contest. Other participants were the Department of Chemistry, The Honors College, the Department of Decision and Information Sciences in the Bauer College of Business, University Career Services, the Department of Campus Activities, and Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.
