Homecoming is oct. 3-5, 2024.

At the heart of Northwestern traditions is the homecom event. The Alva community, Northwestern alumni, current students,  faculty  and staff, as well as prospective students and bands from surrounding areas join in celebrating the Ranger family. Homecoming events such as the Miss Cinderella Pageant for high school senior females, the homecoming parade, band and parade float competitions, Ranger Royalty, and more are all funded strictly through the purchase of Northwestern’s annual themed homecoming button.

The annual Homecoming Celebration for Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva brings alumni and visitors to town each spring during football season. Personnel from Northwestern and leaders in the community join forces to plan the celebration months in advance.

Each year's homecoming seeks to honor the traditions of the past and the heritage of northwest Oklahoma, offering entertainment features that are continued from year to year, but seeking to make each year's schedule unique. Many of those working on homecoming have been involved in its production for several years; others are newcomers to the project this year. All work together to make it a success and a source of pride to everyone in this part of the state.

Using the three paragraphs above, insert a photo and have the text wrap around it. Put your cursor at the beginning of the first paragraph. Using the Photo tool, browse to find camp-ranger.png in the File Browser, (can use Control F to search for the term you're looking for) click on the words and ask Valarie what needs to be done inside the "Image Properties" area before you move on. Once finished with this, delete this green area.

 There are links/emails in various locations below and at right. If you are linking to a page or form that is housed on the Northwestern website, the only part of the link you must use is whatever comes AFTER THE .EDU -- example -- /homecoming or /forms/event-reservation-form. When finished adding links to the site, delete this pink area.

If you have any questions as you move through this info, don't hesitate to ask for help.

EVENT and FACILITY RESERVATION INFORMATION/FORMS (make this a heading 2 using the "Normal" drop down button, then delete these instructions)

These forms allow an item to be placed on the University Calendar as well as to reserve all necessities for the event like the room, equipment, food services, etc.

Event and Facility Reservation Form (link the words at left to this form using:  /forms/event-reservation-form and center the link. Then, delete the directions.)

is to be used to schedule ALL rooms on campus (except for Herod Hall Auditorium)
AND to add an item to the calendar if a room is not needed.

Herod Hall Auditorium Reservation Form (link to this form using:  /forms/herod-hall-auditorium-reservation-form and center the link. Then, delete the directions.)

is to be used to schedule events in the auditorium.

Student Services PDF -- (Highlight the words at left, then use the Link icon in the toolbar to browse server and find a PDF from the Student Services folder in the File Browser. Items are not in alphabetical order in the File Browser, so using Control F will help you find things you're looking for. For Student Services, I use the word Services to find that folder. When you're inside that folder, look for a pdf to use, click on it, and that pdf should then be linked to the words at left. When finished, delete these instructions.)

Next, copy this link: https://www.nwosu.edu/paying-for-college/scholarships and paste it into the web address area of your Incognito page, copy the first three bullet points provided in the Scholarship Requirements gray tab using Control C, then paste (Control P) that text directly below this green section.  Valarie will have you try pasting in two different ways to see how that works. We'll use Control - P to paste as well as use the Paste as Plain Text icon from the toolbar. You may see that using Control P to paste will keep the gray background from the page. To get rid of the gray background color, use the Tx icon in the toolbard. By using the Tx icon, it will strip the formatting of bold or italics type, but it will not strip the links associated with text or email addresses. When using the Paste as Plain text icon, it will strip the formatting from everything, including the links.

After pasting with Control P, go back to the scholarships page and copy (control C) the last two bullet points in the same gray tab. Only this time when you copy and paste, paste using the Paste as Plain Text icon.

 

​Insert a line here using the tool bar, then delete this highlight text.

Homecoming 2024 is Oct.3-5.  (Link to the Homecoming web page using /homecoming and make the word Homecoming bold. Then delete these green instructions.)

Insert a line here, then delete this highlight text.

Under this pink highlighted text, create a bullet point list naming three colors. You may need to highlight this text and choose "normal" from the drop down above. You also may have to change the Font to Franklin by highlighting the text and choosing the Font drop down if the text doesn't change to one similar to your body text after the publishing of the content. You won't know for sure until after submitting to publisher and looking at this page in your Incognito page.

 

Remove this pink highlighted text once you get your bullet list created.

 

Next, copy some text from the source -- under the text above: Homecoming is Oct. 3-5, 2024. - copy the html code of the three paragraphs of text using the "Source" area. Then paste it below in the Accordion section to the left of the name Instructions. Paste it where the blue highlighted words are below. NOTE: If you copy from Source, you must paste into Source because that is HTML code.

After everything above has been completed, Submit to Publisher by going to the top left and clicking on Publishing.
