DePaul's inaugural Gnome Hunt will take place Feb. 5-9, 2018. Here's how it will work: find a gnome on either the Loop or Lincoln Park Campus, and then bring it to the Office of Student Involvement in the Lincoln Park Student Center suite 201. You'll receive two DePaul t-shirts and a Chartwells gift card.

Gnome "wanted" posters will be posted across the university, and you can link to the student organization's or university office's social media for clues to find them. If you're lucky enough to find one, you won't keep the small, pointy-hatted creature, but some swag and a gift card isn't a bad trade-off.
Happy hunting!
