Casino night was held Friday, Feb. 5, at 11 p.m. in Jazzman’s Cafe. The night was filled with many different games like Texas Hold ‘em. Campus Activities and Planning Board planned and carried out the event. The event was organized by the weekend Directors Alexa Schwarz and Sabria Willis. They picked the location before they planned the games. After the location was set, the items used were ordered.
Music was played throughout the night which was played by a guested DJ staff.
Amber McVaugh, a psychology and busi- ness administration major, said, “All of our events are mapped out in November, and finalized as soon as the Spring semester begins.”
The directors and assistant programmer’s all sit down and plan out the events that they want to hold for the semester ahead. It takes a lot of time and preparation for the events to happen. Casino night took many different people to help prepare for the event.
Natalie George, business administration major said, “It was a nice change for those who are working or in class during our other events.”
Schwarz and Willis worked really hard on planning this event that has been organized in the past years.
Some card games that were found at the event were black jack, war and more. But, instead of playing for money, students had the chance of winning gift cards.
“The event turned out really well,” George said. “I think that the people who came were
really excited to play some games late at night.”
The event was advertised two weeks prior to the date of the event. They hung up post- ers throughout Founders Hall, handed out flyers on the tables of Campus Corner and Jazzman’s, and were seen on the television screens located around campus.
“We got quite a few people at the event.” McVaugh said, “The turn-out was greater than we expected for a cold Friday night.”
