Welcome to the Special Olympics at Villanova blog!

Special Olympics Fall Festival at Villanova is the largest student-run Special Olympics event in the world.  Each year, Villanova hosts over 1,000 athletes, 400 coaches, and countless family, friends, and volunteers.  We have six Olympic-type sports that take place both on and in the area surrounding Villanova's campus.

Fall Festival is coordinated by a committee of about 90 dedicated students who are responsible for managing all aspects of the Festival, from food to transportation to hospitality.  We work for months to ensure that the first weekend of November is the best it can be (and have a lot of fun in the process!).

If you're reading this, you're probably wondering who's writing it.  Meet the Media and Publicity team! We (Kelsey Warren, chair; and assistants Lily Lies and Nicole Rogers) make sure to get the word out about Fall Fest and attract all the attention this wonderful event deserves.  We also manage the Special Olympics Villanova Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter accounts and will be photographing all aspects of the Fall Fest weekend (if you see us walking around with cameras, come say hi!).

This year's Fall Festival marks the 25th anniversary of Special Olympics arriving on Villanova's campus.  From now through the event, we'll be posting updates on the committee's preparation and progress, as well as featuring athletes and other fun stuff.  Be sure to follow us as we prepare for what's sure to be the best Fall Fest yet!

Spread the word and get excited--only 137 days to go!
