Career Services, Human Resource Services and Purchasing are among our most awesome offices.

Career Services

They are the winners of this year’s TTU Pride Days Awesome Office Decorating Contest, taking top prize in the respective categories of door decoration, large office and small office.

“It was a tough competition," says Tracey LeFevre of Public Affairs, a contest judge. "A number of offices that entered this year were completely new to the contest, but the levels of spirit and creativity displayed by all the entrants was impressive."

Career Services won the door decoration category with an “Eagles Gather Here” theme that incorporated a wreath centerpiece, decorated in golden fall foliage, feathers and an eagle’s nest.

Human Resource Services won the large office category with its “Pride Wars” theme. Staff members dressed as popular Star Wars characters and guided judges through the office as participants fought for control of TTU Pride.

Purchasing

The theme of Purchasing, which won the small office category, was “Operation: TTU Pride,” which incorporated traditional Tech purple and gold in a "top secret" military operations setting.

Other competing offices included Loan Accounting, Research and Graduate Studies, Foreign Languages, Chemistry, Volpe Library, and Interdisciplinary Studies and Extended Education.

“Every entry was an award-winner in terms of displaying TTU Pride, and every office that competed offered an incredible theme," says LeFevre. "I hope those offices are inspired to build on those themes for next year’s contest."

Other judges of this year’s competition were Daniel Craze, coordinator of Intramurals, and Gina Padgett, assistant director of Alumni Relations.

Included in this year’s prize packages are coupons for free Dominos pizzas, free coffee drinks from the Perch, free Blimpie and Sbarro combo meals, a three-foot sub from Blimpie, a Dairy Queen blizzard cake, merchandise from the Barnes & Noble bookstore, room sprays from Feng Shui Etc., jewelry from Forward Notion, and cosmetics from Mary Kay.
