“I Hate Winter Week” closes with “Beach Please”

Despite the snow and cold, students flocked to “Beach Please,” a summer themed event in the Hub, Friday. 

Over 30 students participated in a beach themed party which included sand, little umbrellas in drinks and volleyball.

The beach party wrapped up the “I hate winter week” which had events throughout the week. Participants were handed leis and raffle tickets at the door. Resident advisers made non-alcoholic drinks at the mocktail bar.

Vials and colorful sand were provided so students could make mementos, and a sand pit was filled with kinetic sand for sand castles.

RLA put on the event to encourage students that summer is coming soon according to Mariah Nelson, Assistant Director of Residence Life.

“We tried this event last year and it went pretty well. We are trying to get it to catch on so we will see about next year,” Nelson said about the “I Hate Winter Week.”

RLA will be holding a Mardi Gras party at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Hub. Cupcakes, punch and prizes will be available for students who participate.
