Sipping, creating masterful creations
During the week of love, the Campus Activity Board(CAB) wanted to bring students together by hosting Mocktails and Masterpieces giving students the opportunity to meet new people and let their creativity flow.
On Feb. 11, students gathered for a stress-free evening of painting and sipping mocktails.
Cobi Kovar, event organizer, expressed how events like these fit the CAB’s overall mission for campus engagement.
“This allows us to engage with our students at all levels, freshmen through seniors. We have some current CAB members working the event that haven’t been here before so that’s a chance to work with them and build a community with them,” Kovar said.
Students were able to pick between two flavors of mocktail, strawberry bliss mockmosa and lavender lemon limeade. After picking a flavor students would then walk down the table to a charcuterie board filled with different meats, cheeses and fruits.
After getting settled in, students began creating their masterpiece. Students were provided with an array of colors to express their creativity. They were also able to pick the size of canvas they wanted to paint their masterpiece on.
Attending student Gizelle Rodriguez explained what brought her there that night.
“It gave me something to do. I have a lab at seven and it’s just a place where I just hang out with my friends and enjoy my time,” Rodriguez said.
The vibes throughout the night were smiles, laughter and excitement. These events allow students to let the stress of the day go.
Alexa Viera, helper at mocktails and masterpieces, expressed her thoughts on the atmosphere that the (CAB) was looking for during this event.
“We are looking for…just like in the mood for friendship and love all around since it is the week of love and we would like to spread the cheer,” Viera said.
