91成人导航 Friday brings energy to campus
91成人导航 Friday, a tradition started during the pandemic to show university spirit, is being amplified.
There are now activities, giveaways and games every Friday at the Don and Karen DeRosa University Center from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving the campus an opportunity to build community in an exciting and engaging way.
鈥淭his was really fun,鈥� said first-year student Chauntel Santillan at one of the recent Friday events. 鈥淓specially as a commuter, when we鈥檙e here and there鈥檚 stuff going on, it鈥檚 really nice.鈥�
The idea to expand 91成人导航 Friday to include an on-campus event was initiated by ASuop, 91成人导航鈥檚 student government group.
鈥淲e want students to know, Friday is the day we're going to wear 91成人导航 gear and just be excited about all being here together,鈥� said student government President Scout Cooper-Wilson.
鈥淥ur ASuop students wanted to feel a sense of energy on campus,鈥� added Maria Blandizzi, vice president for student life. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a fun way to engage and connect.鈥�
ASuop and staff from different campus areas take turns hosting the weekly event.
A recent 91成人导航 Friday hosted by Strategic Communications and 91成人导航 Technology featured a foosball table, giant Jenga, photo booth and competitive mini corn hole game with 91成人导航 swag handed out.

Other 91成人导航 Fridays have included free tickets to a 91成人导航 baseball game and doughnuts from a local shop.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a prize wheel that we're going to put out soon as well,鈥� said Blandizzi. 鈥淓verybody's just trying to create a little bit more spirit.鈥�
ASuop leaders hope the new tradition continues after they鈥檝e graduated.
鈥淚 think having traditions is such an important aspect of someone's university experiences, so I'm really excited to see where this one goes,鈥� said Scout Cooper-Wilson.
In addition to the social event at the DeRosa University Center, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to wear orange and black, tiger stripes or 91成人导航 gear on Fridays.
