R
j.U.L.S.E. stands for Planning Ohique
Activities for a Lively Spelman
Experience, and the student-min
organization has exemplified the acro
nym exceptionally since 2001. P.U.L.S.E.
hosts some of the most popular events in
the AUC including: Spelman NSO (New
Student Orientation), Winter Wonderland,
International Spring Fest, Romantic Inter
lude, Movie Sneak Previews, Welcome Back
Jam, and Exam Jam. However, the most
anticipated event is Homecoming.
For Homecoming 2010,14 Spelman
“pulsers” have planned and organized several
free events for Homecoming - the opening
worship service, the neo-soul concert, the
educational social and the kick off jam.
Homecoming 2010 events were designed
under a theme both Morehouse Colleges
CASA and P.U.L.S.E. created - Galactic As
cension, which P.U.L.S.E. Homecoming di
rector, Christiana Umukoro is worried may
be too vague for students to understand.
“We wanted to have a space theme, but
not something cheesy with aliens...a Kid
Cuds kinda feel,” Umukoro,*a junior child
development major explained. “[Galactic
Ascension} means Spelman and Morehouse
are so elite and great that they’re ascending
above these other institutions.”
However, the P.U.L.S.E. committee is
not interested in focusing solely on confu
sion or dismissive attitudes toward this
year’s theme. According to Umukoro, it’s
extremely difficult to please everyone in the
student body but she is confident that the
committee has accomplished the aspired
goal of tending to the needs of most of the
student body.
The second Homecoming director,
Courtney Sholar, a junior psychology major,
said, “I was excited to hear that people are
excited to see Chrisette Michele. I wanna
see a lot of positive energy and people hav
ing fun.”
The neo-soul concert, starring Chrisette
Michele, parallels the hip-hop concert
at Morehouse. However, both P.U.L.S.E.
Homecoming directors and the director
of the neo-soul concert, Porscha Phillips,
agree that the ne^tfSDul concert attracts
more alum to ytpmbcoming and encom
passes the ne£as of students uninterested or
unfamiliar with hip-hop.
As for other Homecoming events,
P.U.L.S.E. is riskily bold in their attempt to
experiment with a new type of educational
social this year. The event is expected to be
different from multi-cultural cafes they’ve
planned in the past.
This year’s educational social will be an
open forum on Thursday, Oct. 21, called
the “Hip-Hop Dating Class.” It will be held
in Spelman’s Manley atrium at 5 p.m. The
guest speaker, Jeff Carroll, is a relationship
professional who goes by the alias “Yo Jeff.”
The event’s objective is to provoke students
to prioritize when considering school and
relationships.
The opening worship service will be
Sunday, Oct. 17, in Spelman’s Sister’s Chapel
at 10 a.m., followed by the kick-off jam on
the Spelman Oval at 8 p.m. The P.U.L.S.E.
Homecoming extravaganza will end that
weekend with Market Friday.
