Students get a chance to glow while gaming

On Wednesday, Jan. 29, the Campus Activities Board hosted a glow arcade in the game room in the Student Union Building. The night was filled with glowing neon lights, games, music and food. 

“Our board members saw the Glocade company at our annual conference and loved the concept of this event. Our president Delaney Slifka helped organize the details of the event with our advisor Loreal Robertson,” said Erin Landin, CAB public relations coordinator and secretary. 

“It is an experience that helps them as a person grow mentally and emotionally; helps them see the great things that CAB and the university offer to them other than a great education. And also help them interact with others that could lead to lifelong friendships or help grow their connections.” 

If you didn’t catch a flyer during the week the music surely was enough to draw a crowd. Dj Brainwash played an array of music from country, pop, and even hispanic music that kept the crowd growing. 

“We didn’t even know that the event was going on, but we heard the music from upstairs and came to check it out, we’re glad we did,” student Sabrina Lara said. 

“The mini golf was the best. We will definitely come back if they have more events like this. I haven’t seen anybody from other schools post anything like this.” 

Other attendees agreed.

“It’s really cool how they totally transformed the game room,” Amber Saldivar said.

“Our next upcoming events include DIY Stuffed Bears on the 12th of February in the MSUB, from 11 (a.m.) to 2 p.m. and we will be hosting a Scavenger Hunt Feb. 19-and 20. Flyers will be out soon with all the rules and details for the hunt. Also, if anyone would like to be a part of our organization, it’s free and meets every other Tuesday. The next meeting will be Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. The location will be different, but announcements will be made on social media.”  

Students can the follow the CAB on all social media platforms to keep up with upcoming events.
