Students lined up with masks and socks, strapped on their skates, danced and often times fell to the music as the Campus Activities Board hosted their first major event of the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wed. Aug. 26, the CAB hosted a Roller Derby event in the MSUB Ballrooms for students to show off their roller-skating skills, have a snack and enjoy being back on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRoller Derby was actually an event that we had planned for a while,\u201d President of CAB Lizzetty Lara said. \u201cWe\u2019ve done this event before in the past, so we\u2019ve already had experience with running this kind of event I think it was about two years ago\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the beginning of each semester we like to host a bigger evening event,\u201d Lara continjued. \u201cLast semester we held the Glowcade event; the semester before we held the foam party so this semester was roller derby. We got the idea from the National Association of Campus Activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cytlaly Reyes was a student who attended the Roller Derby event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m super excited\u201d she said about being back on campus and to be attending events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CAB took measure to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by requiring all students to wear masks, having sanitary measures in place and limiting the number of entrances and exits to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have been through COVID trainings and protocols to ensure our events are as safe as possible\u201d PR Coordinator for CAB Erin Landin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeing the first event is stressful during any year, but the outcomes of the first events are worth all the stress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI trust that the university is doing everything they can in these times to ensure we stay safe,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While taking measures to protect students the CAB is also prepared to continue hosting events if campus were to close for remote learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt takes a lot more planning and consideration when coming up with these events to make sure everyone that participates is safe and is healthy and can fully participate\u201d Lara said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m really hopefully we are able to have more events in the coming semester,\u201d Lara continued, \u201cand in the off chance that the university does decide to go completely online and continue with remote learning the CAB is for sure coming up with ideas to make sure we are still able to reach out to students and get them involved virtually\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
