The anniversary celebration took place in Forwell Hall at the same time as a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament by the Fanshawe Student Union, and so Recreation and Leisure student Cheriss Marson challenged President Devlin to game. Devlin emerged victorious, winning two out of three rounds, and took home a Super Summer T-shirt from the FSU.
