Homecoming week is here and the candidates are ready for your votes. Homecoming is a fun time here at the fort, especially with all of our awesome candidates representing our school each year!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidate Brad DeMers is excited about being a candidate for this year’s homecoming. He is the president of the Student Government Association. When asked why he chose to represent this organization this is what he had to say.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStudent Government Association means so much to me,\u201d DeMers said. \u201cWith being president of the organization, I get to wake up every day and represent close to 16,000 students. It is so rewarding to have a voice and make a difference in students’ lives at such a young age. I love every second of it and it truly has been an honor to be apart of the organization.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was next asked why he chose Fort Hays and his favorite part about homecoming.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI chose FHSU because I wanted to be different. In my hometown, nobody has ever been to FHSU. I wanted to have a different experience than the people I knew,\u201d DeMers said. \u201cI came to FHSU knowing three people- my aunt, my uncle, and one other person. There has been plenty of ups and downs just like most things in life but I love the journey that I am on.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy favorite part of homecoming is that it is a time for everyone to come together and celebrate FHSU. Coming from another state, I do not get to see my family much. So this event<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is extra special to me because they are coming down which is great.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another element to what makes Hays a special place are the variety of places to eat — and of course every person has their favorite.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[My] Favorite place to eat at is Gellas,\u201d DeMers said. \u201cI love everything there as long as you get ranch on it like a typical midwesterner.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not forget to vote this week for who you want to win FHSU\u2019s homecoming queen and king!
Voting for the title of King and Queen will take place from 9:00 AM October 9th to noon October 11th on TigerLink or in Memorial Union from 11am to 1 PM on October 9th and 10th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
