Campus gears up for naming madness showdown

RELEASED: March 6, 2008

DANVILLE, KY—The period for submitting entries to the "Name the New Eatery" contest ends at midnight, March 6th, but that only means things are heating up as the Communications Office and senior staff whittle the scores of entries down to 64. Once the top-64 entries are selected, on Thursday, March 13 students will receive an email inviting them to cast their votes for the 16 best names for the College's temporary dining facility.

Voting will continue, March Madness style, as the "Sweet 16" are winnowed down to the "Final Four" and on to the selection of the "Championship Name."
