Drop-off times will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., September 5 through 8. We would love to have everything dropped off by Noon on Friday, September 8 but will accept donations until 2 p.m.
Drop-off locations are the Student Union Library Building (SULB) 305 and the Dworkin Center (DSAC) 1021.
Determining the Winner
The student and faculty/staff categories are competing for separate cups. The teams are as follows:
Student Category
- Student Organizations/Teams (Each Organization or Athletic Team is its own team)
Faculty & Staff Category
- Honors College/University College

The scoring system for the Faculty and Staff portion will take the points accumulated for each team divided by the number of faculty and staff in each area.
The student organization/team portion will be scored solely on the point system of items accumulated.
The winners of the Chancellor’s Challenge will be announced at the Fall Sports Fest on September 9, followed by a campus email on September 11 for those unable to attend.
