Academic Forest
The Academic Forest is a collection of 3-foot trees decorated to reflect academic majors on campus. It is a fun way to provide students and community members with a visual representation of the broad scope of academic majors at TAMU-CC, while connecting with the seasonal theme.
Departments can register for as many trees as majors/minors affiliated with the department. Departments are encouraged to decorate each tree in a way that reflects the content area of the major/minor, or you may decorate the tree to reflect the department’s identity. Festival attendees will vote for their favorite tree. The department with the winning tree will win $100 in catering credit.
Additional Details:
- Undecorated trees will be delivered to the department admin by November 13.
- Decorated trees need to be set up and decorated in the UC Tejas Lounge between noon on November 16 and noon on November 17.
- Trees will remain on display in the University Center Tejas Lounge until December 15.
- We will provide an extension cord (for lights).
- We will provide a sign to identify the department or major associated with each tree. The sign should not list student club or organization names, only the major and/or department.
Use items unique to you and your department to decorate your tree. Decorations do not need to be elaborate or complex. We would rather have your department represented with something simple, than not at all. For inspiration, click through the slide show below that includes of some trees from previous years.
A special thank you to our sponsors!
