CBUS shows off its school pride in the university鈥檚 Homecoming decorating competition.
October 20, 2025
2025 marked the 60th anniversary of 海角社区, and to honor this milestone, the university integrated the celebration into the annual Homecoming events. For the first time, the College of Business took part in the traditional office decorating contest. Our incredible team led by Laurie Nakauchi along with Donna Ries, Lindsey Wadle, Nour Itani, and Michael Zastrow brought a creative and heartfelt tribute to life with the theme: 鈥淔earless at 60.鈥�
One of the highlights was a unique AI-powered experience where we transformed photos of our faculty and staff to show what they might look like at 60 years old. Then, each participant chose a fearless activity to showcase whether it was skydiving, hiking, or pursuing a lifelong passion, capturing the essence of courage at every age.
We also asked faculty and staff to share quotes about what being fearless meant to them. These inspiring quotes reflected the diverse ways 海角社区鈥檚 community embraces challenges and growth.
Another highlight was a CBUS history timeline, highlighting key milestones such as the launch of signature courses, the creation of impactful centers, and memorable events that shaped our college鈥檚 journey. It was a visual tribute to the fearless innovation and growth that have defined our story over the decades.
To add a nostalgic touch, we brought in candy favorites from the era when 海角社区 was founded and put together a slideshow featuring old campus photos. Visitors enjoyed browsing through past 海角社区 catalogs and checking out vintage t-shirts that brought back memories and sparked conversations about the university’s rich history.
The newly renovated Dean’s Office lobby the perfect setting for this celebration, beautifully decorated to honor the past while inspiring the future.
This event was a wonderful reminder of how fearless spirit has powered 海角社区 for 60 years, and how it will continue to drive us forward for many more. A huge thank you to Laurie, Donna, Lindsey, Nour, and Michael for their creativity and dedication in making this celebration so special!
