The College Cup Challenge is designed to build a sense of community within each team and help you begin to establish important connections with other students. Below are brief descriptions of each College Cup event. Learn more about the events on Thursday night when Resident Advisors and Orientation Leaders share the official event guidelines with you at event meetings. 

Community Tik Tok Challenge

Put your collective creativity to the test to produce a video that will showcase the celebration, understanding, and engagement of different perspectives and lived experiences. Participants are not required to make an actual TikTok but can opt for a short video that addresses the theme in the style of a TikTok video.

Ridiculous Relays

How well do you work with your classmates?  Show off your teamwork by participating in the Ridiculous Relays and help your team win the College Cup. Each team will take on a series of relays of increasing ridiculousness and fun. The event takes place on the field at the storied Stokes Stadium while everyone else cheers loudly from the stands.

Zoom Out

Test your visual knowledge of the Truman campus against students in other residence communities. Competitors will be shown a zoomed in location on the Truman campus and buzz in as the photo zooms out to guess the location. The earlier you buzz in with the correct answer, the more points your team earns. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the historic interiors and exteriors of the campus prior to this event.

Name That Tune

Test your musical knowledge by competing on stage against students from other teams as you work to complete song lyrics, identify songs and artists, and showcase your mastery of music across the decades. This event is coordinated by the Student Activities Board (SAB), the student group that plans Truman’s biggest events, concerts, comedians, and more on campus each year.
