The University will once again celebrate its faculty and staff with discounted football tickets for the Saturday, Sept. 9, game at the JMA Dome when the Orange take on Western Michigan University with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
Faculty and staff and their guests are invited to the Kenneth A. Shaw Quadrangle prior to the game to enjoy a performance by the Pride of the Orange Marching Band and food and beverage concessions.
The first 400 full-time, part-time or temporary faculty and staff with a faculty/staff Â鶹ƵµÀUniversity I.D. to visit the pregame Faculty and Staff Appreciation tent on Shaw Quad will receive a game day gift and a $5 concession coupon that can be redeemed at the JMA Dome.
The week prior to the game, a drawing will be held to invite faculty and staff members to enjoy an enhanced game day experience, either via seat upgrades or an upgraded concessions voucher. Those who have purchased tickets prior to Sept. 4 will be eligible for the drawing. Winners will be notified prior to game day.

The Office of Community Engagement will host a food drive to benefit the Salvation Army at the game. Food collection barrels, as well as red kettles for those who prefer to make a monetary donation, will be placed at locations around campus as you approach the JMA Dome. There will be a drop-off barrel located at the Faculty and Staff Appreciation tent, so be sure to bring a non-perishable item with you to help the cause!
