Students enjoy arts and crafts on campus
Students of Texas A&M University- Kingsville (TAMUK) brought out their creative sides at the Tie Dye Shirt event. This event was held on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at the Javelina Student Engagement Center (JSEC). TAMUK students took part in the arts & crafts and showed how creative they could be.
According to the Campus Activities Board (CAB), the Tie Dye Shirts event is held every year. At this event, students come and bring their own ideas to create a shirt they can call their own. Along with the shirts, students have access to a variety of snacks, as well as enjoying music.
The Public Relation Coordinator for CAB Carmela Martinez shared her thoughts on why this event is held and what is accomplishes.
“I think the biggest thing CAB accomplishes with our DIY (do-it-yourself) tie-dye t-shirt is giving our students the opportunity to create something that they made and take it home with them,” she said.
At this event, students get to showcase their ideas and learn from fellow classmates. Students share their ideas with one another and socialize with new people.
“This event is important because we usually get a pretty good turnout and I think this is where most of our attendees interact with each other and make new friends,” Martinez said.
Since this event is held earlier in the school year, TAMUK students have an opportunity to meet and interact with new people. While this event can be a way to meet new people, it is also a way to spend time with old friends.
“I really enjoyed spending quality time with my best friend. We got to make each other shirts that we will cherish for a lifetime,” TAMUK student Gabriella Barrera said. “If you are a TAMUK student, I highly encourage going to this event with friends next year. You will have so much fun.”
