Homecoming Committee Co-Chair Greg Schleusner has been working hard to make the Homecoming Week events run smoothly.

Schleusner, senior in architecture, said he went though a tedious process in order to be selected as a co-chair for the Homecoming Central Committee.

Homecoming Central Committee Adviser Dave Critchlow said the co-chairs were chosen very carefully.

“They did an interview for a Student Leadership Alumni Council position, gave a 20-minute presentation on the structure of what they wanted Homecoming to be and what their goals would be and answered general interview questions,” he said. “We looked at all the angles. They [the co-chairs] surfaced to the top of the interviewees.”

Schleusner said he is not new to the Homecoming planning and applied because of his previous involvement.

“I always enjoy the activities, and I like the football and the energy. I really enjoy taking part and being involved,” he said. “We basically just ask the right questions. We only plan one event, a brunch for the committee members.”

Schleusner said the co-chairs’ main responsibility is to act in a supervisory position for the committees under them.

“They are basically the managers of the 20-person committee making sure all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed for all the activities that are going on,” Critchlow said. “They meet with the committee members to go over their events and to make sure they know what they are doing.”

Schleusner’s counterpart, Mike Morman, said he thinks the two make a good co-chair team.

“We’re actually both fourth-year architecture students here, so we’ve known each other for a couple years. I would just say we fit together really well,” Morman said. “We think along the same lines of each other, and it makes it real easy to get stuff done.”
